Former CIA chief John Brennan recently warned about the rhetoric and danger of the far left and Antifa.
This is amazing because Brennan himself is a man of the far left and has helped perpetuate the myth about Trump supporters being dangerous.
Did he have a momentary lapse into sanity and reality?
The Washington Examiner reported:
Former CIA Director John Brennan warns about left-wing rhetoric and antifa
Former CIA Director John Brennan said he is “concerned” about the rhetoric coming from some left-wing members of Congress as he warned about antifa’s “vigilantism.”
Juliette Kayyem, a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and a former assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, broached the topic of left-wing radicalization in a conversation on Tuesday with the longtime intelligence officer, with the discussion moderator seeking a “sense of balance” as she noted there appears to be a great deal of focus by the FBI on right-wing extremism.
In his response, Brennan acknowledged people who fall under a “broad rubric of antifa” while saying politicians should choose their words more carefully, lest they be used by political foes to widen a partisan divide within the United States.
“I am concerned about some of this rhetoric that’s coming from the Left,” Brennan said. “Again, I think ideologues on both ends of the political spectrum are dangerous, and there are individuals on the Left who are engaging in vigilantism themselves that fall under this broad rubric of antifa, anti-fascist elements. But I do think that ideologues are just blind to reality, and they do not look for ways to allow people from across that political spectrum to live peacefully together.”
What a change in tone…

Are leftists in Washington finally figuring out that their base is out of control?
It only took them a year.

Read what he said; he is concerned over what they say not so much over their beliefs. By acting out snd being vocal, they are waking up the rest of the nation. They are hurting what he believes in and wants to see happen. Like the SDS and other late 60’s leftist movements, the modern leftists alienate. He learned the lesson of the earlier period, work quietly and destroy from within.
My god! How can you be that stupid and still find your way home after the party? At least you’re smart enough to not use your name. I wouldn’t either, if I made such inane comments!
Tom, I’ve read your (some) comments on previous reports from this forum that indicate you’re a thoughtful intellectual individual, but I have to disagree with your assessment here. While the observations of the above commenter pursuant to the ‘destruction’ of the Far-Left faction(s)which engages in violent rhetoric and vigilantism is based on the evident extrapolation of actual historical events in this country, arm357 has correctly evaluated Director Brennan’s desire to prevent opponents of global economic, and political governance to justify their own agenda merely by discrediting the aforementioned purveyors of “extremism.” BTW, I use my initials, only, versus my full name as my sobriquet on these threads because, at my age, my fingers are more easily prone to fatigue than they were prior to my USMC retirement. Peace, brother.
GTH you idiot!
YOU and your insane Neo-fascist morons are the problem.
How about you FOAD!!
He’s a fraud, and a traitor to America. We can only hope the terrorists, burn, loot, murder and auntqueefa pay his home a visit! But we know blm is a fraud, two of the biggest racists in politics are sitting in the white house and they do nothing? Funny, weak bunch of terrorists!
Brennan needs his spine decompressed…
Why isn’t this liar in jail ?
Maybe he’s a demoncrat!
Looks like Brennan is a day late and a dollar short. He has contributed to all the crap going on today so he is as guilty as all the leftists.
This man is a liar and a traitor to the American people. He lied about spying and wiretapping Americans and lied over and over about President Trump. He is shameful and I can not believe a television station would hire such a POS.
I hope these lefties get the backlash in the midterms the likes they’ve never seen before.
