A Republican congressional candidate delivered a message on Twitter to antifa rioters while holding an AR-15.
“ANTIFA has declared war on our country.@realDonaldTrump responded by declaring them a domestic terrorist organization,” Georgia Republican congressional candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene posted Tuesday on Twitter. “Here’s my message to ANTIFA terrorists: Stay the HELL out of NW Georgia.”
“You won’t burn our churches, loot our businesses, or destroy our homes,” she continued.

Greene, whose Twitter account says she is “100% Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro-Trump,” is running to represent Georgia’s 14th District in Congress. She would replace GOP Rep. Tom Graves, who surprised many when he announced he will not run to keep the seat he has held since 2010.
Republicans are competing in a primary scheduled for June 9 to earn the right to face-off against Democrat Kevin Van Ausdal in November.
“The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization,” President Trump tweeted on Sunday as riots were breaking out across the country.

Republican politicians have also called out antifa’s violence while, at the same time, acknowledging that George Floyd deserves justice.
“What happened to #GeorgeFloyd was horrific,” Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted. “It was police brutality.We’re united in believing the officers involved should face criminal prosecution. Yet we see antifa terrorists deciding to take advantage of this crisis to wrongly paint peaceful protestors as being violent.”
