Ellison is Deputy Chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
Antifa is a violent political movement incorporating many revolutionary Marxist and anarchist groups.
Whether it was intended as an actual endorsement or a joke, Ellison seemed to show support for a movement that seeks the overthrow of the United States government and has openly sided with North Korea.
Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has sought to put distance between Antifa and and her party, saying of the movement, "You're not talking about the far left of the Democratic Party — they're not even Democrats."
