As clashes intensify between ICE agents, National Guard troops, and far-left agitators — including Antifa — over the removal of illegal immigrants from several major cities, the left has rolled out one of its most absurd talking points yet: that Antifa doesn’t exist. Yes, seriously. This, despite President Donald Trump’s recent designation of the group as a foreign terrorist organization.
On Saturday, conservative commentator Gunther Eagleman™ posted on X that radical left organizers are now distributing scripted instructions to activists on how to “overwhelm ICE.”
Eagleman added:
Their entire goal is to overwhelm and ambush.This is a direct danger to our brave men and women of ICE. The National Guard needs to be running security nationwide ASAP.
Is there any doubt left? Still, Democrats keep embarrassing themselves by insisting otherwise:
Leftists are now doling out scripted instructions to the insurrectionists on how to overwhelm ICE.

And make sure you read what the dope above wrote in his post, too, about “strategy.”
One of the loudest offenders — and perhaps the most ridiculous — is Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. On Saturday, Ellison claimed that Antifa doesn’t even exist, insisting that the first person he ever heard use the term was — wait for it — President Donald Trump:
There really is no Antifa as an institutional organization … Nobody even knows what it is. The first person I ever heard use the word Antifa was Donald J. Trump when he was going on about Charlottesville.
I’ll give you a second to stop laughing before we go on.
Because here’s the kicker: Ellison seems to have conveniently “forgotten” that back in 2018, he proudly tweeted a photo of himself grinning while holding an Antifa handbook — the same movement he now claims doesn’t exist. You can’t make this stuff up:
Keith Ellison, Today: Nobody even knows what Antifa is.

Ellison said of the book at the time: “At Moon Palace Books, and I just found the book that strike [sic] fear in heart of Donald Trump.” Oops.
Here’s the thing:
While Keith Ellison may not matter much beyond the left-wing enclaves of Minnesota, he’s far from alone in this kind of willful dishonesty. He’s part of a broader pattern on the left — a refusal to acknowledge plain reality when it doesn’t fit the narrative.
Ellison and his allies are effectively telling Americans not to believe their own eyes. They want us to ignore the chaos, the violence against ICE agents and National Guard troops, and even the innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire. Whether it’s intentional spin or delusional denial, the result is the same — a left that refuses to admit the danger posed by Antifa and its radical supporters.
At the time of publication, Keith Ellison — alongside House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and a chorus of other Democrats — was reportedly preparing to hold a press conference to announce that Hamas doesn’t exist either, except, of course, in the imagination of Donald Trump.
All right, that’s a joke — but honestly, would anyone be surprised if they actually tried it?
