Just in time for Christmas, a media group founded by former Obama regime staffers is selling left-wing domestic terrorist merchandise for babies, toddlers, youth and adults in its online store.
Crooked Media, which was co-founded in 2017 by Obama alumni Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett and Tommy Vietor, features pro-antifa clothing and hats in its “Crooked Store,” Fox News reported.
Favreau and Lovett were speechwriters for Obama, and Vietor a spokesman.
In what looks like an attempt to mainstream left-wing extremism, their shop features blue antifa onesies for babies, as well as blue antifa shirts for toddlers and youth.
The online store also sells blue “Antifa Dad Hats” for $25 a pop.
Other abhorrent messages featured on infant and toddler clothing include “Read Me a Banned Book,” “ILLUMINATI,” “WOKE MOB,” “BIRTH CONTROL,” “BROS FOR ROE,” and “SEXISM MAKES ME PUKE.
Crooked Media produces a number of left-wing podcasts, including “Pod Save America,” which is cohosted by the three “Obama bros.”
“Antifa” refers to a Communist and anarchist movement that explicitly endorses violence against political opponents and journalists. Adherents were prominent during the George Floyd riots during the summer of 2020. The radicals were also very active during the 2016 presidential campaign, terrorizing Trump supporters at numerous rallies, attacking donors outside fundraisers, rioting after the election and plotting to prevent the peaceful transfer of power in 2017.
In June of 2020, the city of Seattle allowed a group of Antifa extremists to seize a six-block area in the city’s downtown, which was dubbed the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” or “CHAZ.” The antifa goons turned the area into a filthy and violent no-go zone that lasted for weeks until police moved in to break it up.
George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley, has written extensively on the antifa movement, including in his new book: “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” where he discussed the origins of the extremist group.
“Antifa originated with European anarchist and Marxist groups from the 1920s, particularly Antifaschistische Aktion, a Communist group from the Weimar Republic before World War II. Its name resulted from the shortening of the German word antifaschistisch. In the United States, the modern movement emerged through the Anti- Racist Action (ARA) groups, which were dominated by anarchists and Marxists. It has an association with the anarchist organization Love and Rage, which was founded by former Trotsky and Marxist followers as well as offshoots like Mexico’s Amor Y Rabia. The oldest U.S. group is likely the Rose City Antifa (RCA) in Portland, Oregon, which would become the center of violent riots during the Trump years. The anarchist roots of the group give it the same organizational profile as such groups in the early twentieth century with uncertain leadership and undefined structures.”
In a post on his website, Turley expressed concern that “with tensions rising after the election, the embrace of organizations like Antifa will only fuel calls for violent action.”
“Now, liberal families can bring a small part of that political violence into their homes for the holiday to pledge that there will be no peace or silent nights so long as opposing views are heard,” he wrote. “Antifa has gone retail, and there is no better way to celebrate political violence and rage than your Antifa onesie.”
A spokesperson for Crooked Media told Fox News that the items being sold on its website “are not a joke,” but added snidely that “all toddlers are antifa until their souls are broken by capitalism.”
