The petition to recognize Antifa as a terror group has reached over 200K signatures now!
The White House petition rules state that once the number of signatures reach 100K the White House will make an official response to the petition.

We pray that justice will be served in this matter.

The Washington Examiner initially reported on the petition on Friday, when it had 1,259 signatures.

This weekend, on Saturday, tens of thousands of protesters descended on Boston, including a “free speech” rally organized by some right-leaning groups. These groups were reportedly far outnumbered by groups of counter-protesters. While there were some arrests, the demonstrations were largely peaceful.
