Oklahoma Representative Kevin Hern and 37 of his fellow representatives wrote a letter to Attorney General William Barr to thank him for the work the Department of Justice is doing to investigate the financial support received by Antifa.

In a statement, Rep. Hern said: "Antifa is a terrorist organization. It is self-evident to anyone who has witnessed the destructive, irrational behavior they use to intimidate the American people. There is a lot of confusion around the organization, who leads it, and what their reach is. This confusion will only lead to more suffering, even further undermining of our political process and the First Amendment rights."

Rep. Hern added that he is grateful to Attorney General Barr for his hard work and hopes that by investigating the financial backer and leadership of Antifa, they can better understand how deeply the problem runs. He said they want to do this so they can begin to weed it out of our country.

Lastly, Rep. Hern said he is glad to have the support of so many colleagues on this effort. He said they look forward to the conclusion of the investigation. Joining Rep. Hern in the letter include:
