Whenever there is a white supremacist rally in this country it’s usually a handful of knuckleheads surrounded by cops, protecting them from hundreds of leftist counter-protesters. Despite this, Biden’s AG Merrick Garland testified before Congress that white supremacy is the biggest threat facing the U.S. and has committed massive resources to fight it. I would say this kind of like dumping money into combating Bigfoot attacks, but unlike the white supremacy threat there is some circumstantial evidence that Sasquatch exists.
The Hill reports:
The Biden administration’s top law enforcement officials on Wednesday pledged to dedicate their resources to combat domestic violent extremists…
Attorney General Merrick Garland and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appeared before the Senate Appropriations Committee for a hearing on domestic extremism…
Both Garland and Mayorkas testified that white supremacist groups pose the most serious domestic national security threat in the U.S., reinforcing what analysts have long concluded about far-right organizations.
“Domestic violent extremists pose an elevated threat in 2021 and in the FBI’s view, the top domestic violent extremist threat we face comes from racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists, specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race,” Garland said.
With this bonus load of crap:
Garland dismissed concern from Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) who asked whether the Justice Department was investigating with “equal vigor” protests in Portland, Ore., and other cities that were often a focus of former President Trump.
So white supremacy is huge threat to America, but not Black lIves Matter or Antifa? What is this based on?
There were 574 declared riots in the U.S. last year between late May and December.
From May 26 – June 8 0f 2020, the BLM and Antifa race riots caused $2 billion in damage. Keep in mind that’s just insured damage so the cost is probably double that since most small businesses are under insured and/or uninsured. That doesn’t account for the riots that raged for the rest of the year however. I can’t find any official stats, but I don’t think it’s ridiculous to say the George Floyd riots of 2020 did in excess of $10 billion in damage.
This destruction also doesn’t account for all of the public property that was burned, trashed, and vandalized but these domestic terrorists. I actually lost count of all the courthouses, police stations, historic churches, and statues that were annihilated last year.
In Minneapolis alone, 1,500 businesses, many of them black-owned, were destroyed by BLM and Antifa. There are no stats nationwide but the race riots of 2020 hit most major cities in this country. Again, it’s not an understatement to say that tens of thousands of businesses were looted and burned last year by leftists.
As of June 9 last year, the last update given, 19 people died in the race riots of 2020. Let’s put that number for the whole year at 100, because there was death and violence in every city for a solid 6 months following that date. It’s hard to calculate how many people were injured in these riots, but I’m saying it was in the tens of thousands. Prove me wrong.
Over 2,000 police officers were injured by leftists rioters in the first weeks of last year’s race riots. Let’s assume that number reached quintuple digits by the end of the year.
BLM and Antifa teamed up to cause billions of dollars of damage, kill and injure tens of thousands of Americans, and financially ruined tens of thousands more. Put together, the Summer of Floyd riots are the worst terrorist attack ever on American soil, but Biden’s DoJ is going after the white supremacists?
I, BTW, couldn’t find any white supremacist attacks in all of 2020. No death. No destruction. Nothing.
