Antifa Deeply Embedded in Homeless and DEI Nonprofit Space, Says Jonathan Choe

🔴 WATCH THE FULL EPISODE: https://ept.ms/4aJbpPMShow more Antifa is deeply embedded in the federally-funded homeless nonprofit space and also DEI implementation space, says TPUSA Frontlines and Discovery Institute senior journalism fellow Jonathan Choe. “I've been covering Seattle now for the past six years…What I've seen is Antifa in the homeless space, but also in these government nonprofit spaces as well: the areas that focus on DEI implementation, for example; LGBTQ transgender nonprofits…You have this ecosystem… the drug addiction space, all in cahoots with one another.” Choe says Antifa members are thus indirectly accessing large amounts of state and federal funding, as well as funding from big foundations. “That’s what the White House right now is looking at as well: The money trail, the funding from the Tides Foundation, from Open Society's foundation, from Soros… And until that funding network gets dismantled, we're going to see, again, more of the grift, more waste when it comes to federal dollars.” Show less

	I've been covering Seattle now for the past six years.
	I'm from Boston, the East Coast.
	I talked to my reporter friends in that market.
	They have no idea what Antifa even is.
	So it really, in my experience, has been more of a West Coast phenomenon.
	So what I've seen, again, is Antifa in the homeless space, but also in these government nonprofit spaces as well, the areas that focus on DEI implementation, for example.
	LGBTQ, transgender nonprofits.
	That's where I see a lot of these disenfranchised workers embedded.
	So again, you have this ecosystem.
	You have the DEI.
	You have the LGBTQ community, the homeless space, the drug addiction space, all in cahoots with one another.
	And that's what I've seen.
	And I mean, using federal money or state money.
	Yeah, indirectly.
	Because essentially, these Antifa, alleged Antifa members, are getting salaries from these nonprofits, right?
	Now, obviously, there's no carve-out for, oh, this goes to our Antifa militants who act as muscle during homeless encampment sweeps so we can block the cops from moving these our homeless friends out on the streets.
	So you don't have anything blatant such as that, but just the direct funding to some of these nonprofits.
	And that's what the White House right now is looking at as well.
	The money trail, the funding from the Tides Foundation, from Open Societies Foundation, from Soros.
	It's all there in writing.

I've been covering Seattle now for the past six years.

I'm from Boston, the East Coast.

I talked to my reporter friends in that market.

They have no idea what Antifa even is.

So it really, in my experience, has been more of a West Coast phenomenon.

So what I've seen, again, is Antifa in the homeless space, but also in these government nonprofit spaces as well, the areas that focus on DEI implementation, for example.

LGBTQ, transgender nonprofits.

That's where I see a lot of these disenfranchised workers embedded.

So again, you have this ecosystem.

You have the DEI.

You have the LGBTQ community, the homeless space, the drug addiction space, all in cahoots with one another.

And that's what I've seen.

And I mean, using federal money or state money.

Yeah, indirectly.

Because essentially, these Antifa, alleged Antifa members, are getting salaries from these nonprofits, right?

Now, obviously, there's no carve-out for, oh, this goes to our Antifa militants who act as muscle during homeless encampment sweeps so we can block the cops from moving these our homeless friends out on the streets.

So you don't have anything blatant such as that, but just the direct funding to some of these nonprofits.

And that's what the White House right now is looking at as well.

The money trail, the funding from the Tides Foundation, from Open Societies Foundation, from Soros.
