"Colin P. Clarke of the Soufan Center, who has testified before Congress as an expert witness on terrorism, told the Post,

"This is the politicization of intelligence, and it's dangerous because what they're doing is basically playing partisan politics with counterterrorism, and only looking at a sliver of the overall threat."

Even more troubling, the Trump administration's push to link "antifa" to international terrorism is coming from counterterrorism czar Sebastian Gorka.

Gorka is a longtime Trump cheerleader and former conservative media figure with a history of promoting extremism.

He is a former Fox News contributor who was a member of a Hungarian group designated as Nazi-allied by the U.S. government during World War II.

Gorka previously complained about the Department of Homeland Security warning about violence from the extremist right-wing sovereign citizen movement and was fired from the FBI for Islamophobic rhetoric.

In one memorable comment in 2017, Gorka claimed that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had committed treasonous acts and said she should face similar consequences to spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg who "got the chair."

"Yet while Trump and his team have singled out purported violence from the left, they have given official blessings and support to right-wing terrorism.

For instance, former leader of the right-wing Proud Boys militia movement Enrique Tarrio was convicted of sedition against the government for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol " and Trump pardoned him.

Unable to silence domestic dissent, Trump is trying to get the world to give him a boost.

But it doesn't appear to be working."
