Julio Rosas is an excellent right leaning journalist who used to write for Townhall and now writes for Blaze Media. Rosas was part of the White House summit on Antifa today and provided some informative commentary.
Rosas covered the border crisis under Biden, but before that he covered the 2020 riots and saw Antifa up close.
In his comments at the White House, Rosas suggested that part of the problem with Antifa is the continued insistence by Democrats and the media that it doesn’t exist, when in fact, it does. Rosas began by saying:
“Thank you Mr. President for having us here, and not to sound like a broken record but it needs to be said that Antifa is real. It’s real, it’s a threat, I just saw them last weekend over in Portland while they’re causing mayhem over there.
And the reason why they’re such a big problem is because we have Democrats and a lot of people in the mainstream media refusing to acknowledge that they even exist, right? So how can we as a country begin to address it if we have large swaths of these people who are supposedly decision makers and people who are supposed to inform, they don’t want to say that it exists?”
Watch the video below, this is great:
My full statement to President Trump during the White’s House roundtable on Antifa: Antifa is real. It’s a real threat…Sustained political violence is not a ‘both sides’ issue. All of the violent protests I have covered just this year have been because of people on the Left. pic.twitter.com/AKy7NBjM3Q

Rosas recently wrote the following on Substack:
Antifa’s quiet alliance with Portland police is the story the media is missing
The city of Portland, Oregon is no stranger to being in the national spotlight due to the city’s strong Antifa presence. While they have made headlines this past summer for what Antifa was doing outside of the ICE facility in the southern portion of the city, the Portland Police Bureau has on been the receiving end of scathing criticisms because of what they are not doing.
The Portland police’s inaction to enforce basic laws outside of the ICE facility has been a growing problem, not just for the federal agents assigned to work and protect it, but also the residents of a low-income apartment complex just across the street. The city was taken to court over the issue by some of the residents, but the judge ruled the local cops are not obligated to do crowd control outside the federal building.
With the judiciary on their side, Antifa continued their siege of the courthouse, mainly at night. That changed this past week with the deployment of Oregon National Guardsmen being officially requested, on orders from President Donald Trump. If the city and state are not going to do its part, then the federal government will. This move by the War Department predictably angered the local radicals and they redoubled their efforts.
Journalists like Rosas and Andy Ngo are doing the job the mainstream media used to do. Investigating and reporting vital information. It’s why people increasingly trust them over the dinosaur media, which is now little more than a public relations shop for the Democrat party.
