Published on Aug 16, 2017 by Democracy Now! [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzuqE7-t13O4NIDYJfakrhw / https://www.youtube.com/user/democracynow , https://www.youtube.com/user/democracynow/videos ]

President Trump is facing widespread criticism for his latest comments on the deadly white supremacist protest in Charlottesville, Virginia. Speaking at Trump Tower on Tuesday, Trump said the violence was in part caused by what he called the "alt-left." President Trump’s comment were widely decried. Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney wrote on Twitter, "No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes." We look at one of the groups who confronted the white supremacists in the streets: the antifascists known as antifa. We speak to Mark Bray, author of the new book, "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook [ https://www.amazon.com/Antifa-Antifascist-Handbook-Mark-Bray/dp/1612197035 ]."

Who are the antifa?
President Trump equated them with white supremacists. Here's why he’s wrong.

Antifascists may seem like a novelty, but they’ve been around for a very long time. Maybe we should start listening to them.
