>ANTIFA operates "like Al-Qaeda", wants America "burned to the ground", and may launch terror-style attacks, a top cop has warned. Sergeant Betsy Brantner Smith, spokesperson for the National Police Association, claimed that the "dangerous" left-wing group is full of "lone wolves" like the notorious terrorist group.
>Speaking exclusively to The US Sun, Sgt Brantner Smith compared the left-wing mob's operations to that of Al-Qaeda, the terrorist militants behind the September 11 attacks.
>Antifa, meaning anti-fascist, is the umbrella term for a broad spectrum of far-left and anarchist groups who fight against actions they believe to be racist, homophobic, authoritarian and xenophobic. The group has been linked to violent riots and possible terrorist-style attacks - but it has been claimed by Dems and some law enforcement figures that the threat is overblown.
>Sgt Brantner Smith claimed the group attempts to recruit people who do not conform to "societal norms" and may exploit "vagrants" to bring them into Antifa. And she suggested there may be attacks as she said Antifa wants to "burn down" the US and uses "lone wolves" - potential threats who are radicalised and carry out attacks alone.

>Sgt Smith also took aim at the Democrats over the "obsession" with the Capitol riot on January 6, when Trump supporters stormed the building and left five people dead as they attempted to disrupt the certification of votes for Biden. However, she said Democrats are trying to weaponize the event to show "all problems came from Trump and his supporters" and gloss over the months of violence which she blames on Antifa.
