Trump’s homeland security chief Kristi Noem announced she’d arrested the ‘girlfriend of the founder of Antifa’ and was mocked into next week

Kristi Noem retreated from the frontline of the Portland war zone to break the exciting news that they have made some inroads into Trump’s latest favourite bogeyman, Antifa.

That’s right – they’ve only gone and arrested the girlfriend of one of the ‘founders of Antifa’. Woohoo!

Here’s what she had to say alongside her commander-in-chief, who managed to stay awake all the way to the end.

Noem: One of the individuals we arrested recently was the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa and we’re hoping as we go after her and prosecute her, we’ll get more and more information about the network and how we can root them out and eliminate them from the existence of… pic.twitter.com/83xedial2t

As much as I loathe it, the rightwing messaging machine is a sight to behold. They have, with astonishing discipline/effectiveness, conjured up an Antifa boogeyman out of nothing & are now talking of nothing else when I can’t remember them barely mentioning Antifa just months ago https://t.co/Vfuc9pC4yt
