Attorney General Pam Bondi is taking heat for her recent claim that antifa is a well-funded organization because many anti-MAGA protestors have matching signs.

“They are organized,” Bondi claimed during a recent appearance on Fox News. “They are a criminal organization. And they’re very organized. You’re seeing people out there with thousands of signs that all match, pre-bought, pre-put together.”
“They’re organized, and someone is funding it. We are going to get to the funding of antifa, we’re going to get to the root of antifa, and we are going to find and charge all of those people who are causing this chaos.”
