In a recent roundtable discussion, President Donald Trump, along with top cabinet members and a selection of independent journalists, addressed the issue of 'Antifa.'
This movement, which Trump accurately designated as a terrorist organization last month, was the primary focus of the meeting.
As reported by Gateway Pundit, the White House invited several independent journalists who have had firsthand experiences with Antifa terrorists in the Northwest region of the United States, specifically in cities like Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington. Among the attendees was former Seattle television reporter Brandi Kruse, who delivered a poignant statement to the President.
Kruse addressed Trump, saying, Mr. President, Brandi Kruse, you can tell that several of us will be very fired up today because some of us have been covering antifa for 15 years and have never had anyone in a position of authority even acknowledge their existence."
She continued, emphasizing the significance of Trump's recognition of Antifa as a real threat. "And I also think the single most important thing youve done with this scourge is acknowledging that antifa is a real thing," she said.
Kruse further highlighted the impact of Trump's decision to label Antifa as a terrorist organization. "I generally believe that there would be people at these tables who would be dead today and would have been killed in Portland had you not called them a terror organization and said we are going to bring the full weight of the federal government to bear They havent been as quick to violence since you made that designation. They dont want to go to federal prison," she stated.
Kruse also shared her personal journey of overcoming what she referred to as "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (TDS). "I had strong Trump Derangement Syndrome for probably eight years. This is one of the reasons I recovered from it. By the way, its much better to not have TDS. Im happier, Im healthier, more successful. I even think I got a little more attractive after I got rid of my Trump derangement syndrome," she confessed.
Kruse's impassioned speech continued, as she expressed her indifference towards any criticism of the meeting. "Im not here to convince any of you that Antifa is a real thing, because if you have not come to that conclusion by now, you are never going to come to that conclusion because you dont want to see it," she said.
She further criticized the mainstream media and Democratic politicians for their lack of honesty about Antifa.
"When I saw, after all those years, that the media wouldnt be honest about what was happening, that Democratic politicians wouldnt be honest about what was happening, I thought, Well, gosh, if theyre not being honest about that, maybe theyre not being honest about President Trump either. It opened my mind to just looking at things for what they were. Now I find you quite funny," she concluded.
This roundtable discussion, captured on video by KOMO in Washington, served as a platform for independent journalists to voice their experiences and concerns about Antifa, highlighting the importance of acknowledging and addressing this terrorist organization.
