A VERY GOOD MOVE, AND CONSISTENT WITH AMERICAN VALUES – AT 1:30 P.M. ET:   Americans are getting tired of violent leftist groups showing up at political demonstrations and wrecking things.   The Democratic Party is too intimidated to speak out against the thugs.  The Republicans are taking action.  From Breitbart:

The left-wing terrorist organization that calls itself AntiFa is “freaking out” over a proposed law that would enhance penalties for anyone who “injures, oppresses, threatens, or intimidates any person” while wearing a disguise or mask.

Throughout our country, and for a number of years now — and primarily because the establishment media fantasizes about,  promotes, inflames and  approves of the violence committed against the right (naturally, HuffPo opposes the unmasking law) — AntiFa has been allowed to run rampant, committing countless acts of violence against everyday, peaceful supporters of President Donald Trump.

AntiFa has also been responsible for untold amounts of vandalism and property damage, and targets the alt-right.

The  Unmasking Antifa Act of 2018 can mean additional fines and prison terms of up to 15 years.

The Hill reports the “bill was introduced by Republican Rep. Dan Donovan (N.Y.) and is co-sponsored by GOP Reps. Pete King (R-NY), Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and Ted Budd (R-NC).”

Ironically, this proposed law is similar to laws passed decades ago in states like Georgia and Alabama to stop another terrorist group formed by far-left Democrats, the Ku Klux Klan. According to the far-left New York Times, Ohio and West Virginia already have similar laws on the books.

Unless it is Halloween, Mardi Gras, or some other kind of celebration, there is no legitimate reason to disguise who you are in public, unless you intend to do something illegal and do not wish to be identified.

COMMENT:  Doesn't look as if there are any Dem co-sponsors.  What a disgrace for a once-great political party.  I wonder how this party would treat John F. Kennedy's inaugural address today.
