Staff Reports
Three former staffers from the Obama administration are trading in their political rhetoric for baby fashion, and it’s anything but safe for infants. Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor, collectively known as the “Obama Bros,” have launched an online store through their leftist media group, Crooked Media. And what do they sell? Baby onesies branded with “ANTIFA.” Yes, that’s right. The shirts that once signified the anarchic far-left are now marketed to your little ones, retailing for the bargain price of $18.
The store’s description makes a mockery of any concerns conservatives might have about indoctrinating the youngest generation. One could think they took this meme a bit too far when they suggested that the tiny onesies might actually produce “mini Antifa warriors.” It’s unclear whether the boys think they’re being clever or if they’ve just completely lost touch with reality. Yet they are not stopping at Antifa-themed costumes; other trendy options include graphic onesies emblazoned with messages like “BIRTH CONTROL” and “WOKE MOB.” Nothing says “welcome to the world” quite like a celebration of fringe ideologies aimed at destroying the very fabric of society.
Antifa—the shadowy group that turned peaceful protests into violent riots and left behind a legacy of destruction in 2020—has somehow become a brand for these misled merchandisers. The recent civil unrest led to the loss of countless lives and billions in property damage, but that doesn’t concern the Obama Bros. Instead, they seem to think it’s all in good fun, trivializing an organization notorious for its violent tactics. This new venture raises the question: Are these individuals propagating a culture of chaos, or simply practicing the art of extreme satire?
According to a Crooked Media spokesperson, the clothing is not a joke. They articulate a view that all toddlers exist in a state of idealism until “their souls are broken by capitalism.” Such a take reeks of elitism, as if they believe poverty and competition are the scourge of human existence rather than the very forces that foster growth and ambition. It also sets an interesting precedent for parenting—perhaps they’d support baby onesies that encourage kids to throw rocks and chant in the name of ‘social justice.’
Not surprised. Obama has always been the spiritual leader of Antifa and BLM.

Esteemed legal scholar Jonathan Turley has spoken out against this merchandise, warning that the endorsement of Antifa can only add fuel to an already intense political fire. He rightly points out that glamorizing this ideology can lead to dangerous implications, especially given the current climate in America. Celebrating any group synonymous with violence and chaos is a recipe for disaster, no matter how snazzy the fabric may be.
If the “Obama Bros” think they can sell rebellion in cute little packages, they might want to check their assumptions at the playpen door. The only thing more concerning than baby-sized onesies promoting radical ideologies is the idea that this will become a trend among the left. It seems that when it comes to caring for their children, some progressives have zero problems dressing them up in the very outfits that represent everything sane parents hope to shield them from. The kids might want to grow up fast enough to avoid getting dragged into the misguided crusades of their parents.
