      1. Barr says he doesn't call Antifa a "terrorist organization." Explains Antifa is "an umbrella term for what is essentially a movement comprised of loosely organized groups around the country," adds: "I’m not suggesting it’s a national organization that moves nationally."

      Context: In May, Trump declared that the govt was designating Antifa a terrorist group, which made no sense bc (as Barr says) it's an umbrella term for a movement not an actual organization. Like a lot of Trump tweets, it got attention and then evaporated. nytimes.com/2020/05/31/us/politics/trump-antifa-terrorist-group.html

    Warning of Antifa rioters, Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wisc.) refers mockingly to how Antifa "is supposedly a myth" that like rebuts the point that it is not an actual organization -- as Barr himself has now tried to explain. The reason this is even an issue to discuss has been lost.
