House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, during a visit to Denver on Wednesday, condemned the violence of “antifa” activists in recent demonstrations but said they don’t represent Democrats.

“I think if there’s some people who are acting in a violent way, that they should be prosecuted,” Pelosi said during a meeting with editors and reporters at The Denver Post, adding that activists who identify as “antifa” — short for “anti-fascists” — tend to be socialists or anarchists, rather than Democrats.
...
Her formal Tuesday statement addressed the assaults of at least five people by black-clad anarchists at a protest against hate Sunday in Berkeley, Calif. The Washington Post characterized her words as “the strongest criticism of left-wing protesters that any Democratic leader has made.”

“Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts,” Pelosi said in her statement. “The violent actions of people calling themselves antifa in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted.”


Even the far-left is bailing on that sinking ship.

Does Antifa think we're in the middle of a revolution or something?

i think less revolution

more subtle removal of the basic tenets of our republic

and while people like me think we're at the 'jury' stage of the 'four boxes' (soap, ballot, jury, ammo) they are convinced we're at the ammo box stage.

but their ammo box appears to all be blanks and urine-filled water balloons

Jesus, can we not call Nancy Pelosi far left? Hopefully this helps to illustrate the gaps between "Democrat" and "Anarchist."

That's just as bad as the left saying that all Repubs are white-supremacist Nazis.

no, they think they're preventing the Nazi revolution. They're just going about it all wrong.

Someone's gotta say it

Call her far left, but at least she can single out the radicals on her side of the political spectrum. Not both sides, her side. And chances are she won't change her mind about her words tomorrow, either.

Well, no. There's two different brands of extreme hardcore leftists. Ones that become SJW's, and the others that use violence.

She's not gonna use violence.

This. You're delusional or just ignorant if you think Democrats are far left. Communists and their friends are the far left.

I understand why conservatives don't like her, tribalism, but I still don't get why lib/dems don't. All I hear is generic "establishment" whining and nothing of substance. Her, as with Hillary, seem to have been negatively affected in the same way by conservative propaganda, I can't believe libs are falling for the con.
Every time I hear whining about her I envision Glenn Beck mock strangling her.

When your platform is 'steal from 'rich' people to allow the government to run your life,' you're far-left.

The fact that admiral thinks Pelosi is far left should show you just how far to the right he actually is.
