In a meeting with reporters, Donald Trump said he’d like to designate left-leaning groups and anti-fascist protesters as domestic terrorist organizations but needs to speak with his officials first.
He also threatened to bring RICO charges against any groups accused of funding protests.
No U.S. organization has been found to fund protests on the left, but GOP groups (including Charlie Kirk‘s Turning Point USA) and Russia are both known to finance and help plan protests on their side.
Trump’s threats are part of a larger attempt by the GOP and their influencers to claim that the murder of Charlie Kirk was either committed by a “radical leftist” and/or planned in advance by Democrat-supporting organizations.
At the time of this post, the latest evidence against Tyler Robinson suggests he is a centrist who had a personal vendetta against Kirk for his hatred towards the LGBTQ+ community. Robinson is bisexual, and his partner is transgender. Aside from their sexual and gender identities, there is nothing to suggest either is a leftist or politically active in general. (See the source “Ken Klippenstein” below for more details on Robinson from his friends and Discord messages.)
