Carl Higbie did what too few in the conservative movement have the guts to do on national television: he called out Antifa for what it is — a radical, violent fringe that threatens public safety and the rule of law. On his Carl Higbie FRONTLINE program he warned Americans that this network of agitators is not a harmless protest group but a real problem that must be confronted by leaders unwilling to look the other way.
The truth is uncomfortable for the mainstream press: Antifa is not a centralized charity or civil-rights group but a decentralized, far-left movement whose tactics range from doxxing to physical assaults at rallies. Its ideology celebrates anti-authoritarianism and often overlaps with violent direct action, which is why ordinary citizens who go about their lives in peace feel threatened when mobs are given a free pass.
Washington is finally catching up, and that’s welcome news to patriotic Americans who want safety over spin. The administration has moved to treat Antifa as a national security problem, with top officials publicly discussing designations and investigations into those who fund and coordinate extremist activity. Conservatives have long warned that if the left is allowed to weaponize protests against political opponents, the social fabric of our towns and cities will fray.
Meanwhile, the legacy media and woke elites continue to minimize or excuse Antifa’s violence, treating destructive radicals as misunderstood activists while blaming law-abiding conservatives for every uptick in unrest. That same double standard is why hosts like Carl Higbie matter — they name the threat and refuse to let the story be buried under liberal spin. The American people deserve honest reporting, not cheerleading for chaos.
It’s time for concrete action, not platitudes. Prosecutors and lawmakers should pursue criminal charges against those who commit violence and follow the money to expose networks that bankroll extremist operations, while respecting constitutional protections for peaceful protest. If the political class keeps kicking the can and protecting violent extremists with rhetoric, local communities will continue to pay the price in broken windows, burned storefronts, and families living in fear.
Patriots should stand with voices like Higbie who put facts and safety ahead of political correctness and partisan comfort. We are a nation founded on law, decency, and the right to live without fear; defending those principles means calling out and confronting the violent fringe wherever it appears. If our leaders won’t protect our streets and our children, then decent Americans must demand it loudly and unapologetically.
