'They create these myths': George Conway slams Trump

On Monday, September 22, President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring leftist Antifa to be a "domestic terrorist organization." Many Trump critics, however, were quick to point out that Antifa is a movement, not an actual organization.

One of those critics is attorney George Conway, a Never Trump conservative and a scathing critic of Trump and the MAGA movement.

During a Saturday morning, September 27 appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend," Conway argued that Trump's fear-mongering over Antifa is designed to crack down on dissent.

Conway told an MSNBC panel, "It's about creating enemies. It's a classic fascist authoritarian thing to do: You create enemies — perceived enemies — even when they don't exist, and you tell people that they are more organized than they are…. And there's are no ways to create a domestic terrorist organization. The fact is there are ways to prosecute that. A domestic terrorist organization — a real one — would be prosecutable under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act of 1968. Because it would be a racketeering organization committing crimes. But the problem is: Antifa's not an organization."

Conway continued, "You have to have some kind of a structure, an enterprise to have that kick into place. And it doesn't exist. We don't know where Antifa is. There's nobody is in charge of it. It's just a label."

MAGA Republicans, Conway warned, "are trying to create the perception that it is something."s

"They create these myths," Conway told the MSNBC pane. "In Germany, they created the stab-in-the-back myth. It's basically, exactly the same thing. It's designed for the same purpose."
