Social Media Ridicules FBI Official's Inabilty To Answer Antifa Question

One person described Michael Glasheen's testimony as a "total amateur hour in U.S. law enforcement."

FBI Official Michael Glasheen managed to amuse much of social media on Thursday just by fumbling one simple question to Congress.

The operations director of the national security branch of the FBI managed to make a huge gaffe during a House Committee on Homeland Security hearing.

During his testimony, Glasheen called antifa “the most immediate violent threat we’re facing,” a claim that supports President Donald Trump’s decision in September to declare the movement a “terrorist organization.”

However, it’s a dubious claim, especially since previous FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers in 2020 that antifa “is not a group or an organization. It’s a movement or an ideology.”

But Glasheen became flustered when Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) asked him to back up the statement with actual facts, such as the location of antifa’s headquarters.
