WASHINGTON — Attorney General Merrick Garland told Congress on Wednesday that violence incited by white supremacists poses “the most dangerous threat to our democracy.” That assertion reflects near-universal consensus among national security experts, including those who worked for the Trump administration.
Garland’s warning came during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, which was conducted by supporters of then-President Donald Trump and incited by white supremacist groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. Five people died as a result of the attack.
“In my career as a judge and in law enforcement, I have not seen a more dangerous threat to democracy than the invasion of the Capitol,” Garland said, calling the attack an “attempt to interfere with a fundamental element of our democracy, the peaceful transfer of power.” The attorney general went on to say that “there has to be a hierarchy of things that we prioritize. This would be the one we’d prioritize.”

I might be one.
You might be one too.
How long can they keep peddling this crap? Who is buying it?
Open season on “deplorables”.
No bag limit.
Lock and load.
Pandering.
White, not woke, or
White, anti-reparations, or
Person of any race that is not aligned against either of the above.
Only one person died....the UNARMED woman who was assassinated by a black LEO as she climbed through a window.
And someone like THIS nearly made it into the Supreme Court.
“Who is buying it?”
60% of the population and 50% of the voters.
And I don’t know or associate with any of them.
Secret government information says the Yellowstone supervolcano will erupt in a month.
Because your posts reveal you to be so intelligent, you are one of ten thousand Americans who will be evacuated.
You are given a choice of Oslo, or Kinshasa.
What do you choose?
Iraq had Baghdad Bob...
I am really getting tired of this inflammatory communist crap.
BS
BLM/antifa = White Supremacy?? We need Mandatory Drug and Alcohol Screening DAILY for ALL Federal Employee’s immediately
I suspect that their definition of White Supremacist equates to white people who believe in private property ownership.
Not one gun was confiscated. Yes boards or whatever can be weapons. The fact is....no one was armed....unlike the protestors who burnt down cities, killed cops and beat people.
They conflate anyone against totalitarianism with lunatic fringe groups purposefully.
Goebbelesque and communist demonization, propaganda and disinformation are hallmarks and crucial tools of totalitarian regimes such as the “Biden administration” which could be called the Obama Cartel or just The Cartel.
I’m white, therefore I am a white supremacist. That’s their new woke definition.
Conservatives, MAGA Patriots, and white supremacists alike got absolutely nothing from the actions on January 6th...and don't even seem to have tried. Who is Garland trying to fool?
“...violence incited by white supremacists...”
Have any evidence of that MERRICK?
