White supremacy is top security threat, Garland says

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.”

“You are given a choice of Oslo, or Kinshasa.

What do you choose?”

That’s racist.

90% of the people in the ghetto don’t know anything about either and can not point to them on a map.

Are you going to exercise your white privilege and pick Oslo?

White supremacist: anyone unwilling to “bend the knee” to the globalist oligarchs.

House Democrats introduced a bill to erect a permanent “Attack On The Capitol” exhibit on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol. The bill specifies that the project must be installed in a “prominent location” and retain a “permanent” status. Property “damaged during the attack,” photographs, and a plaque honoring the “sacrifice of heroes, including United States Capitol Police Officers Brian Sicknick” are among the exhibit requirements. Officer Sicknick, however, died of natural causes according to D.C.’s Chief Medical Examiner.

“The Architect may include artwork created to depict the attack on the Capitol,” the bill adds.

The legislation adds to the Democratic party’s continued exploitation of the events on January 6th, epitomized by President Biden, who recently referred to the event as “worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War” and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who professed she thought she “was going to die” when Trump supporters entered the U.S. Capitol despite the fact the congresswoman was in an entirely different building at the time of the attack.

Yes, it’s disingenuous, and by design.

Translation: the top threat to the continued hold on power of the corrupt globalists who comprise the deep state are.... America-first conservatives.

The enemy knows damn well race plays no part in it. But a lie repeated often enough....

First of all there is no “threat to our democracy” from them or any other group.

After that, write supremacy barely exists except as a left wing fantasy.

When Trump was Prez the most important thing was finding out if Trump or his kids made money with Russia.

Now, Hunter Biden has over a Billion from China, Russia, and various other countries - and no one cares.

This is Political, 100% Politics.

“— What is the definition of a White Supremacist? -”

“Wray says Antifa doesn’t exist.”

Even Ted Wheeler has admitted that they are a problem.

Commie James Comey worked as a national security expert in the Trump Administration. How did that rot turn out?
