Conway: Antifa Is Short For “Anti-First Amendment”

The Daily Beast reports:



Kellyanne Conway on Monday incorrectly claimed that “antifa” is really a shortened version of “anti-First Amendment,” when in reality it is a moniker for anti-fascism protesters.

Conway’s claim, made while speaking from the White House on the final hour of Fox & Friends, echoed a Saturday tweet from Fox News contributor Dan Bongino, who wrote: “Everywhere the group ANTIFA (Anti-First Amendment) goes, violence and chaos follows.”

The senior White House counselor appeared to have knowledge of the tweet, as she was ready with the creative interpretation on Monday morning.
