Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said Sunday that some rioters sparking unrest over the death of George Floyd in police custody want a “Second Civil War” in the country, according to a report.
Rubio, who is the interim chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, identified some of the rioters as “violent, domestic extremists and they range from Antifa groups who are radical to the left to some other groups, radical to the right. In fact, groups that I would argue don’t even belong on the political spectrum as we know it.”
“And their goal, while they are ideologically opposed to each other..they hate the police, they hate the government, and they want this country to fall apart…some of them want a Second Civil War,” Rubio said, according to FloridaPolitics.com.
1/4 (see thread,don’t quote selectively)
-We have clear reasons to believe Antifa is responsible for violence at protests
-And we should be concerned about anti-govt extremists who are online calling for attacks on police

2/4: Yes, ANTIFA is a real collection of autonomous & violent radical groups & at multiple protests the violence comes from organized groups dressed & equipped like ANTIFA & using the same tactics as ANTIFA
Those being arrested often post bond with help of celebrities

3/4:Loosely organized groups who hate the police & want a 2nd Civil War is also real
During the last week some are on private social media chats calling for attacks against police
They are described as “far-right”. But they are really anti-govt/anti-American insurrectionists

4/4: Across our political spectrum we agree Mr. Floyd was murdered
Sadly, instead of focusing on the core issues raised by his tragic death, the focus is on the violence & lawlessness at protests
That must end

They are far left liberals
