DHS Secretary Mayorkas: ‘Domestic Violent Extremism Is the Greatest Terrorist Related Threat We Face’
Breitbart ^ | 8/2/21

Posted on 08/02/2021 11:31:26 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Monday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that “domestic violence extremism is the greatest terrorist-related threat we face on the homeland.”

Mitchell asked, “As a result of the January 6 attack, are you doing enough to identify extremists domestically?”

Mayorkas said, “We are very focused on this. This is one of our highest priorities. Domestic violence extremism is the greatest terrorist-related threat we face on the homeland. We have created the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnership in the Department. We have a task force dedicated to this effort. We’ve dedicated more than $77 million in grant funding to state, local, tribal, territorial authorities. We are doing so much to address this really grave threat.”

Mitchell said, “What are you doing to identify terrorists or extremists, extremist groups within the military, within the ranks of DHS as well, other government branches?”

Mayorkas said, “Well, Secretary Austin, the Secretary of the Department of Defense, is conducting an internal review within his department, and we are doing the same within our department. We are very focused on ensuring that our personnel uphold our values and represent the best of our nation. It’s our responsibility.”

The sigint nerds must be hearing a lot of chatter domestically. They know what they’re about to implement is not going to go over well.

Considering how blatantly corrupt the whole system is he should be worried.

Are there any, you know, actual real examples of this “extremism”? And can you provide any examples not using the name Trump, or the word, January?

Go ahead, we’ll wait while you provide the laundry list that is cause you to be terrified. (Notice Mitchell conveniently didn’t ask for concrete examples.)

These douche wads just don’t stop, do they.

Ignoring the real anti-American enemies like Antifa and BLM, they just keep targeting normal white conservatives.

Not even close. The biggest domestic terrorist threat this country faces is the Deep State- Globalist Elite alliance. It is about time to grab the pitchforks

They spew this fetid crap thrice weeky like clockwork. DHS and the other alphabet soup commandos must be getting bored with all lack of violet extremism taking place on a daily basis.

Remember—when you see three or more white guys walking down the street—you better get on the other side of the street or they will mug you!

They are gonna have to go with false flags—the “crazy right wing extremist insurrectionists” are not properly playing their part...

Then they must know their Marxist agenda isn’t playing too well……..and if they really believe this, they better rethink their plans and back off.

No, it isn’t. But it probably will be soon. A blind man can see that.

Timothy McVeigh. They needed Jan 6 to replace him though, because that was 25 years ago and people barely remember him now.
