Racist or fake news? CNN analyst says Antifa is ‘widely perceived as an African-American organization’

CNN is just having one of those weeks again.

After fibbing on a major story about President Donald Trump, the Counterfeit News Network either reported some fake news or made a racist comment.

On Tuesday, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said that criticizing Antifa, a far-left fascist group, was racist because it is “widely perceived as an African-American organization.”

Here are his full comments on the matter:

“Let’s be clear also about what’s going on here, the theme here is ‘I’m Donald Trump and I’ll protect you from the scary black people.’ Antifa is widely perceived as an African-American organization and this is just part of the same story of LeBron James and Don Lemon and Maxine Waters and the NFL players and the UCLA basketball players.”

Uh, what?

There are two things wrong here:

First, Antifa is largely a group comprised of young white males. In fact, a February 2017 study of European anti-fascist protesters found that 84 percent are men, 72 percent are 18-29, 90 percent are single, 34 percent are unemployed, and they live in their mother’s basement.

Also, Paul Joseph Watson put out this great tweet:

Hi, @JeffreyToobin you said last night on CNN that “Antifa is widely perceived as an African-American organization.”

Reality begs to differ.

Second, is Toobin blaming blacks for crimes and transgressions committed by an all-white outfit? That’s incredibly racist.

In the end, CNN is either reporting fake news or it is racist. Which is it CNN?
