It’s been over three years since the FBI and the Department of Homeland security referred to the radical leftist Antifa movement's behavior as that of a “domestic terrorist” organization, but that hasn’t stopped CNN from promoting their activities. Just days after CNN host Chris Cuomo argued that Antifa was a “true” and “good cause,” social justice warrior Kamau Bell on Sunday’s United Shades of America offered a national platform to an Antifa member while offering no pushback against their violent tactics.

Completely ignoring the terrorist designation, Bell sat down with a young woman who only went by the name Ariel. As they began their discussion, Bell allowed her to twist and lie about what Antifa actually was:

BELL: So, how would you describe yourself in relation to Antifa. ARIEL: The way I describe Antifa is more like this. Like, do you approve of fascism? BELL: No. ARIEL: Then, you can consider yourself Antifa if you chose to. So, if you're opposed to fascism – BELL: Yeah, I am. ARIEL: -- then you are Antifa because it’s anti-fascism.

“Do you think people deserve love? Antifa,” she exclaimed.

After Ariel opined about a person interested in joining Antifa could simply make a website to “educate children,” Bell claimed the group “doesn’t” fall on the typical left-right spectrum, though Ariel admitted she believed in “anarcho-communism.” Communism, an ideology that had left over 100 million people dead in the last century alone. That went unmentioned by CNN.

Prompted by Bell to talk about how she “had to get out there and mix it up,” Ariel, a seemingly small woman, told this tale about she had to jump in to save two Muslim women from a raging Nazi. “I didn’t really think about it, I jumped like at him but I picked him up like off the ground and I threw him on the ground and I just jumped on him and I started like punching him,” she claimed.

Moments later, Ariel started pulling weapons out her bag (such as a bright pink set of brass knuckles and a large knife) to Bell’s enjoyment:

BELL: Oh, I love that these are— ARIEL (pulling weapons out of her bag): I know, I like that. BELL: Can I put this on? [Puts on brass knuckles]. Wow, and this is—[opens a large pocket knife] ARIEL: I usually have a couple of those on me just in case. BELL: Oh, just in case. ARIEL: I use it for whatever I need to use it for. BELL: Point taken.

Ariel also showed off flyers she would put up featuring a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement official that claimed the man was a “modern day Nazi”, and bragged about doxxing ICE officials.

Bell’s response was to mock those who opposed the tactic. “So the argument from people on the left -- and right – but even the left will be like are going to be like, ‘these are just people who have jobs and are trying to have a living, they're just trying to support their families,’” he said in a diminutive tone.

CNN’s prime time hosts have championed Antifa in the past. In August of last year, Cuomo declared that the group had “morality” on their side. CNN Tonight host Don Lemon rationalized their violence and suggest President Trump railed against the group in order to stoke racism. This is CNN.
