White supremacist praise of the Taliban takeover concerns US officials

As the United States-backed government in Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and US troops raced to leave the country, White supremacist and anti-government extremists have expressed admiration for what the Taliban accomplished, a worrying development for US officials who have been grappling with the threat of domestic violent extremism.

That praise has also been coupled with a wave of anti-refugee sentiment from far-right groups, as the US and others rushed to evacuate tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan by the Biden administration's August 31 deadline.

"There are concerns that those narratives may incite violent activities directed at immigrant communities, certain faith communities, or even those who are relocated to the United States," he added.

Almost certainly fake news.

100% pure propaganda. No doubt about it.

White supremacists ? I’m sure its just people who enjoy seeing the woke military and globohomo oligarchs get publicly embarrassed on a global scale...that could be whites, blacks, asian etc.

[Richard Axtell]

So, if you consider who has benefited the Taliban the most, by far, this story implies that Joe Biden is a White Supremacist.
Does that make sense? Of course it does.

[central_va]

Gaslighting on a grand scale.

[Nextrush]

Imagine that FBI operatives praising the Taliban.

Doesn’t get much dumber than this.

Of course!

Now, what is the next step?

So a Jew is more worried about non existent threats than 100K more Islamic people in the US.

The poor choices continues from Barabbas to now.

Oh, there are undoubtedly a few "right-wingers" in a nation of 330 million who would support the Taliban, but they are a tiny minority. This is coming out to change the narrative.

We can't allow ourselves to be gaslighted and forget that it is usually conservatives who are condemned for CRITICIZING militant Islam, and the left which DEFENDS Islam after every instance of Islamic terrorism.

Don’t they claim that Trump supporters are white supremacists? Now they are claiming Trump supporters support the Taliban???

They really are insane

Are we talking about the fifty three marchers in Charlottesville?

[RBW in PA]

They must be concerned about one of my posts. I had the gall to ask if the American people had the fortitude of the Taliban, how long would it take to remove the evil ones? I’m sure this is what the article is based on :)

? WTAF?

[FLvoter]

THEY are the ones who praised everything, doubled down and patted themselves on the back!

CNN: More Pravda than Pravda.

Biden and the DNC won’t lift a finger to feed and house American Veterans - but they’ll go out of their way to feed and house refugees THEY made when destroying Afghanistan.

Biden and the DNC won’t lift a finger to feed and house American Blacks but they’ll move hell and high water to help refugees and illegal immigrants using American Blacks tax dollars.
