But antifa are the real terrorists!

https://bit.ly/2XRBvMe

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has introduced a resolution that would brand anti-fascist group Antifa a domestic terrorist organization even as right-wing violence is burgeoning in the U.S.


A preliminary tally by the Anti-Defamation Leagues Center on Extremism found that domestic extremists took the lives of at least 50 people in 2018, up from the 37 the previous year. Last year was the fourth-deadliest for extremist attacks since 1970, according to the report. And every single extremist killing in 2018 had a link to right-wing extremism, the report found. The FBI reported a 17% jump in hate crimes in 2017, its latest report, over the previous year.

The far right accounted for 73% of extremist murders in the U.S. between 2009 and 2018, according to the ADL data, compared to 23% by Islamic extremists. Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan described white supremacist violence as a huge issue and an increasingly concerning threat in a Capitol Hill hearing just last month.


This after the Trump admin pulled funding from far-right violence prevention programs a while back.

Shortly after Donald Trump took office, the administration rescinded a $400,000 grant to Life After Hate, a group dedicated to stopping right-wing extremism in America. The Department of Homeland Security also backed out of a $867,000 grant promised to researchers at the University of North Carolina who were developing a program to stop young people from embracing ideologies like jihadism and white supremacy. The Office of Community Partnership, an arm of DHS whose mission is to prevent violent extremism before it begins, had administered those grants. After Trump took office, its name was changed, its staff cut in half, and its budget slashed by more than 85 percent.

It is so transparent why he is doing this.

Humpty drumpfy started his send them back movement, which would send Hispanic AOC back to... her native New York?

But, you see, her parents are foreigners! Theyre from ... Puerto Rico. Americans. So are her grandparents.

A small part deep inside teddy must know he is Hispanic too. And unlike AOC he was born in CANADA.

He must be getting nervous so he is trying to get on das oranges good side so he doesnt get sent back for being Hispanic lol

The stats are hard to deny? Do you dispute them? Do you dispute that violence from the far-right is a serious issue?

But they say far- left extremism is just as bad, or even worse, given how much Republicans are trying to de-emphasize domestic terror except for Antifa.

Yeah, lobbing fire bombs at locked up camps full of innocent people is kind of a deplorable action.

Thank god he was such a colossal fuck up that he didn't manage to actually kill anyone. That hasn't stopped the radical left loons from hailing him as some sort of hero though.

Remember the "chemical attack"?

Or that lefty in Charlottesville who was attacking scared and fleeing Civil War enthusiasts with a flamethrower?

No? Perhaps those were stories that were exaggerated and misrepresented to falsely paint a "same thing both sides" narrative. Two wrongs don't make a right, but not all wrongs are equally wrong.

They may throw out a "thoughts and prayers" in the wake of whatever recent deadly terror attack but then It's right back to "That doesn't represent the right. Now what about Antifa and how bad the left is getting?"

He pointed out how the Trump administration has defunded efforts to fight right-wing terrorism and prevent it from recruiting people, all while pushing for Antifa to be recognized as terrorists.

I know. That's far-right terror as well. Just not as homegrown as the white supremacy, alt-right shit.
