Mike Cernovich, a pro-Trump social media organizer who made his name as an investigative journalist during the 2016 election, comments on House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi's decision to publicly denounce the "violent actions" of the radical left wing "Antifa" group.



"Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts,” Pelosi said in a statement released late Tuesday. "The violent actions of people calling themselves antifa in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted.”



Cernovich says Nancy Pelosi's public disavowal of the self-described "Anti-fascists" is a "big win" for the alternative/new media because now, for the first time, the Democrats "own" the radicals on the left for the first time in the same way that Republicans are forced to "own" the radicals on the right.



"If I could push a button and get rid of all these dumb people flying Nazi flags and have them never show up -- They are a big problem for the right," he said about the white nationalists trying to identify President Trump with their movement. "They swing their Nazi flags and ruin everything right?"



"That is Antifa! Antifa are the left wing version of Nazis. They are very violent, they are terrible people. They cause a ruckus and property damage," he said.



"The issue was that until us, no one was ever able to make Pelosi and the Democrats own Antifa," he said. By "us," Cernovich means the new online media.



"That is why this is such a big victory for new media. We made Pelosi own Antifa... Paul Rya, Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake, Ben Sasse, Van Jones, Don Lemon, Jake Tapper, Brian Stelter, Chuck Todd, H.R. McMaster: Will you all disavow Antifa?"



"What we have done," he said. "Is we made Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats own Antifa -- just like the [old] media makes up the realities of politics. We have to own these idiots who come to our events with their Nazi stuff. It isn't right. It isn't fair, it isn't cool, but the media has been able to do that. So I just said, let's flip it then?"



"Antifa now has to be owned by Pelosi, Bernie...everybody who condemned Trump for his 'both sides' comment," Cernovich explained. "Everybody who had a problem with Trump calling out 'both sides' now has to disavow this."
