Summary
Eric Schmitt is using Antifa as a political scare tactic instead of focusing on real issues. There’s no evidence supporting his claims, and Missouri families deserve leaders who solve problems — not create fear.

💥 Let’s call it what it is — more MAGA theater. Senator Eric Schmitt just mailed out a letter claiming Antifa is a “radical, anarchist group” that should be labeled a foreign terrorist organization. He even thanked Donald Trump for “designating” Antifa as a domestic terror group — something that, by the way, never legally happened.
It’s a fear-filled fairy tale meant to grab headlines, rile up donors, and scare voters into believing there’s a shadow army plotting against Missouri. The truth is much simpler: it’s a recycled distraction strategy straight from the MAGA playbook — blame an imaginary enemy instead of fixing real problems.
Eric Schmitt’s Fearmongering Doesn’t Fix Missouri
Our families need jobs, healthcare, and infrastructure — not political ghost stories. Rural hospitals are closing. Family farms are struggling under trade chaos. Broadband access still lags behind the national average. Yet instead of addressing these real issues, Senator Eric Schmitt is wasting taxpayer time trying to score partisan points with scare letters.
And let’s be honest — there’s no credible intelligence, from the FBI or DHS, suggesting Antifa is organized or foreign-funded. That’s not a political opinion; it’s a verifiable fact. But that doesn’t stop the right-wing echo chamber from pushing this nonsense, because fear keeps donations rolling in and headlines spinning.
Eric Schmitt and MAGA Rhetoric Are Hurting Missouri
While Trump-era talking points still echo through Congress, Missouri communities are asking for help with roads, schools, and fair farm prices — not empty culture-war narratives. The senator’s letter isn’t governing; it’s grifting. He’s feeding the same machine that profits off division while our state falls further behind.
What’s missing from Schmitt’s priorities is Missouri itself. Instead of advocating for small business owners, family farmers, and rural healthcare, he’s pushing political theater designed to look tough while doing nothing tangible for the people who sent him to Washington.
The real extremists aren’t in the streets — they’re in offices of power, crafting fear-based mailers instead of solutions. Missouri deserves leaders who can govern with reason, compassion, and courage, not MAGA paranoia dressed up as patriotism.
Missouri Deserves Better Than Political Stunts
I’ve said it before — and I’ll keep saying it — Missouri needs problem solvers, not performance artists. When I’m elected as your congressman, I’ll focus on expanding broadband access, protecting family farms, lowering healthcare costs, and making sure our tax dollars go toward real results, not fear campaigns.

Bottom line: Eric Schmitt’s Antifa letter is pure MAGA theater — no facts, no proof, just fear tactics. Missouri deserves leaders focused on jobs and rural life, not political stunts.
