CNN anchor Chris Cuomo is defending the domestic terrorist group Antifa, following in the footsteps of Don Lemon, who once said “Listen, no organization is perfect. There was some violence. No one condones the violence, but there were different reasons for Antifa and for these neo-Nazis to be there. One, racists, fascists. The other group, fighting racist fascists. There is a distinction there.”
Cuomo hoped aboard the Antifa fan club, saying the masked thugs under FBI investigation are good people deep down.

Per Twitchy:
We will note that President Trump did give a good, not “perfect,” answer on Charlottesville, but it took him three tries to really get it right — and despite the press conference in which he directly condemned them, the myth that he praised neo-Nazis as “very fine people” continues to live on in people’s minds.
Newsbusters described the exchange on CNN:
…
“There are certainly aspects of them that are true to a cause. That is a good cause. They want social justice and whatever they want in that context,” he gushed. As the two argued, Cuomo kept insisting that Antifa wasn’t malicious:
“What I’m saying is this, you don’t draw a moral equivalency between neo-Nazis and the people there to fight against them,” he said ending the segment.
The problem is Antifa members act like fascists.
In @ChrisCuomo ‘s defense.
He’s an idiot, so. #Grainofsalthttps://t.co/K4Nw2us63x

So now Cuomo is endorsing a terrorist organization. CNN is going out of its way to prove that it is an enemy of the people.
