CNN’s Erin Burnett just proved again why legacy media continues to hemorrhage credibility with the American public.
During a recent segment, Burnett repeated talking points straight out of Antifa’s own playbook while taking aim at so-called “right-wing extremists.”
“Antifa is far from a major sophisticated terror organization like Hezbollah, Hamas, or ISIS,” Burnett claimed. “In fact, it’s not even like the far-right groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers which have national leaders unlike Antifa. There is no organized hierarchy to the group.”
She then doubled down:
“And according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, compared to right-wing extremists, Antifa violence is rare and limited.”

This is the same CNN that buried the 2020 Portland riots, 100 straight days of Antifa-led carnage where these goons rioted, looted, and torched federal buildings while local Democrats like Mayor Ted Wheeler stood by and let the chaos fester.
And don’t forget the cold-blooded murder in August 2020, when an Antifa militant, Michael Reinoehl, gunned down Patriot Prayer member 39-year-old Danielson in the streets of Portland, yet Burnett acts like it’s all ancient history.
More from the White House:
- Since early June, Antifa militants have laid siege to the ICE field office in south Portland. The terrorists have violently breached the facility by using a stop sign as a battering ram, hurled explosives and projectiles, burned American flags, viciously assaulted, attacked, and injured officers, doxed officers, berated neighbors, and even rolled out a guillotine.
- As part of the ongoing siege, dozens have been arrested and charged with serious crimes such as arson, assaulting federal officers, and resisting arrest.
- In May 2024, an “Antifa anarchist movement” took credit for burning more than a dozen Portland Police Bureau training vehicles.
- In May 2022, Antifa members deployed smoke grenades, paint-filled balloons, and fireworks to break up a campaign event for a Republican political candidate.
- In August 2021, Antifa terrorists violently attacked right-wing demonstrators with explosives and chemical spray.
- In January 2021, more than 100 Antifa demonstrators attacked Portland police and vandalized property, with some armed with knives and long poles.
- In October 2020, Antifa terrorists sparked a riot at an “Indigenous Peoples Day of Rage” event, toppling statues of Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt and vandalizing multiple buildings.
- In August 2020, a self-described Antifa militant shot and killed a Patriot Prayer supporter during a riot in Portland, then was later killed after he brandished a weapon while law enforcement attempted to apprehend him on murder charges.
- In 2020, Portland Antifa terrorists led 100 days of carnage and violence in Portland — in which they rioted, looted, burned buildings, bludgeoned officers, deployed power tools and commercial-grade fireworks as weapons, and attempted to destroy a local courthouse.
- In May 2020, Antifa terrorists released a “chilling video” in which they threatened the city’s mayor and publicized his home address.
- In November 2019, an Antifa terrorist was sentenced to six years in prison after “using a weapon against a conservative demonstrator who suffered blows to the head that the victim claims left him with a concussion and cuts that required 25 staples to close.”
- In June 2019, Portland Antifa terrorists were arrested after assaulting rightwing demonstrators and police with quick drying cement and bear spray.
- In August 2018, a Bernie Sanders voter was beaten by Antifa militants “for carrying an American flag.”
- In 2017, Antifa terrorists caused an innocent Wisconsin family to be inundated with threats after they published their address online in a botched doxing attempt.
- In 2017, Antifa terrorists attacked and injured law enforcement and attendees at a pro-free speech rally.
- In 2017, Antifa threatened organizers of the annual Avenue of Roses Parade for including a Republican-themed float — prompting the group to cancel the event altogether.
- In 2016, Antifa-led rioting caused more than $1 million in damage in Portland after President Trump’s election.
And get this, New data from CSIS itself, the very think tank Burnett hides behind, now shows left-wing terrorism, including Antifa’s rampage, has surged so dramatically that it outpaced far-right attacks for the first time in over 30 years halfway through 2025! Even Axios, no friend to conservatives, admits the far-left’s violence is exploding.
