Jimmy Kimmel, host of ABC’s late-night show, stated during his monologue that Antifa does not exist. “You understand, there is no Antifa? This is an entirely imaginary organization,” Kimmel told his audience. He compared the idea of Antifa to fictional characters, saying, “There is not an Antifa. This is no different than if they announced they rounded up a dozen Decepticons [from the movie Transformers]. ‘We’ve captured the Chupacabra, everyone!’”
Kimmel’s remarks come two weeks after he claimed that a person who attacked Charlie Kirk was affiliated with MAGA. His recent comments align with similar statements made by other media figures and Democratic politicians, who have questioned whether Antifa operates as an organized group.
The discussion about Antifa’s existence has been ongoing in political and media circles. Some critics argue that while there may not be a formal organization called Antifa, groups using the name or similar symbols have been observed at various protests and events.
Social media users reacted to Kimmel’s statements, highlighting videos and images from past demonstrations involving individuals identifying as Antifa. The debate continues over whether Antifa should be considered a structured organization or a loose movement without centralized leadership.
