As Ngo described Antifa's "Black bloc" practice last week to journalist Katrina Trinko, they wear "a uniform of black clothing, long sleeve, and mask and sunglasses" letting them "Easily melt into the crowd when some of them engage in criminal activities such as violence against individuals or property destruction."
As Ngo himself recently wrote, "CNN's Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon have defended Antifa on-air." And NBC's "Chuck Todd invited Antifa ideologue Mark Bray on 'Meet the Press' to explain why Antifa's political violence is 'ethical.'".
On Monday, Ngo tweeted a warning that "Antifa is leading a 'Border Resistance' militancy training tour that will converge on a 10-day siege in El Paso, TX" at the beginning of September.
Imagine if the Ku Klux Klan, whose masking methods Antifa obviously mimics, had assaulted an Internet journalist weeks before a debate between 2016 Republican presidential candidates, and, say, the staunchly conservative House Freedom Caucus refused to condemn it.
Asking the Democrats seeking the White House about Antifa would put them in an impossible bind, and CNN knows it.
Condemning Antifa risks offending activists within the party's base, many of whom are no strangers to militant demonstrations.
Refusing to condemn Antifa, on the other hand, puts them on the record going easy on the bloodiest elements of the far left.
