MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday blamed supporters of President Donald Trump for instigating violence on the streets of Portland. 
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.) said on Sunday that Antifa riots in Portland are a “myth.”
A majority of young, college-educated Americans justify the rioting and looting destroying major urban areas across the country, according to a new poll.
Democratic Rep. Debra Haaland (N.M.) called Antifa a group of "peaceful protesters" that is "working to safeguard their city from domestic terrorism" during an appearance on CNN Saturday. 
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. “Mankind.” That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom — not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: “We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”
Liberal Vox blogger Matthew Yglesias said the Antifa mob that broke Fox News host Tucker Carlson's door and frightened his wife into calling police was engaging in a "strategy" to make him feel the fear of "his victims." 
CNN host Don Lemon defended militant group Antifa on Tuesday, acknowledging its violent past while saying "no organization is perfect." 
A progressive and registered Democrat was assaulted by militant leftists earlier this month for carrying an American flag at a protest in Portland, Oregon, and he is recovering from his injuries. 
The good news about Sunday’s “Unite the Right II” rally held in Washington D.C. is that it was an embarrassing failure. A year after hundreds of alt-right protesters clashed with Antifa counter-protesters in Charlottesville, resulting in the death of Heather Heyer, less than two dozen fringe-balls showed up for the sequel. By contrast, the counter-protesters numbered in the thousands, including hundreds of armored and black-clad Antifa.
