"Law Enforcement's Latest Antifa Witch Hunt: A Retrograde Echo of McCarthyism In a disturbing echo of the Red Scare era, local authorities in the United States have launched a fresh attack on a legal assistance group accused of being part of a vast antifa conspiracy. The group in question, which has been a thorn in the side of law enforcement for decades, was also targeted by the notorious Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. The latest allegations, fueled by the Trump administration's NSPM-7 directive, have sparked concerns that the country is witnessing a repeat of the McCarthy era's dark legacy of fear-mongering and civil liberties abuses. As the Intercept reports, local cops are now using these unfounded claims to justify their crackdown on the group, raising questions about the true motives behind this latest antifa witch hunt."
