Misrepresentation of what Mayorkas said. He did not have the info at his fingertips and said he would provide it after the hearing
Yea a nothingburger
He could have just pointed out the 1/6 insurrection white supremacists
Christopher Wray has also testified multiple times that domestic violence was increasing and white supremacists were primarily responsible; more so than any terrorist attacks other than 9/11.
White supremacist terrorism: Key trends to watch in 2021
The
January 6 Capitol protests that became an insurrection painfully highlighted how the white supremacist movement is intermingled with anti-government extremists,
conspiracy theorists, partisans of President Trump, and other causes. White supremacist terrorism
has long proven a major threat, but it is likely to see significant changes with a new president in the White House and the end of the COVID-19 crisis in sight. Although U.S. and allied policy will have a considerable impact on the threat white supremacists pose, much will depend on events beyond those governments’ control.
The white supremacist movement
has steadily globalized, and this trend continues to accelerate. Believers in the “Great Replacement,” a prominent idea in the white supremacist ecosystem, contend that the United States, Europe, and other “white” countries are being reverse-colonized, with Black, Hispanic, Arab, and other immigrants diluting the white world. The
idea emerged in France and has spread among white supremacists around the world. Globalization goes beyond ideas. Anders Behring Breivik’s 2011 mass murders in Norway created a model of a single man (and yes, it is almost always a man), sending out a manifesto and then going in, arms blazing.
Brenton Tarrant in New Zealand put Breivik on steroids when he did the same thing, but posted it to Facebook Live as he killed 51 worshippers at two mosques in New Zealand in 2019.
Although U.S. and allied policy will have a considerable impact on the threat white supremacists pose, much will depend on events beyond those governments’ control.
