Sen. Tom Cotton: Denying Antifa Is In Portland Is Like ‘Denying There Were American Tanks In Baghdad’

“[Democratic New York Rep.] Jerry Nadler denying antifa is in Portland is kind of like ‘Baghdad Bob’ denying there were American tanks in Baghdad back in the day. I mean, you can just look at the videos posted in recent weeks. People are carrying  the flag of antifa and wearing t-shirts and spray painting it on buildings,” Cotton told “Fox & Friends.”

He was referring to a Twitter post Monday where Nadler responded, “That’s a myth” when asked about antifa’s activities in Oregon. Cotton acknowledged that there were other people involved in both the peaceful demonstrations and violent riots that have rocked Portland for two months.

“Obviously that’s not the only people on the streets in Portland, but there’s no question there are professional instigators and agitators on the streets in Portland who are trying to stir up violence,” Cotton said.
