Summary

President Trump sent the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, this week as part of his effort to crack down on crime in some of America’s major cities. In a truth post, he blamed part of Portland’s problems on “ANTIFA and the Radical Left Anarchists,” who he says have been “viciously attacking our Federal Law Enforcement Officers.” Earlier this week, FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony spoke to Gabriel Nadales, a former Antifa activist. Nadales explained how Antifa is organized and how they try to intimidate those they disagree with, He also explained why he left the movement and why he believes they should be designated as a terrorist organization. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with former Antifa activist Gabriel Nadales. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
