“”Antifa and the “Black Lives Matter” regularly describe themselves as “anti-fascist” and “anti-racist,” a self-description Romney has accepted and forwarded.

Romney’s view is ubiquitous across the left-wing and Democrat-aligned news media; Tuesday’s presser with President Donald Trump saw MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson ask Trump about moral comparisons between white nationalists and their neo-Marxist detractors:

Are you putting what you’re calling the “alt-left” and white supremacists on the same moral plane?
