Outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that there had been a “significant increase” in the past 10 years of homegrown violent extremism.

Mayorkas said, “We have a heightened threat environment, as Director Wray and the attorney general both articulated, and we’ve been saying this for quite a number of months. We have not only the persistent threat of foreign terrorism that, of course, created the Department of Homeland Security, but we have adverse nation-states, and for the past 10 years, we’ve seen a significant increase in what we term homegrown violent extremism. It is a very difficult threat landscape and it is why that we as a community, not just the federal government, but state and local officials and residents, need to be alert to it and take the precautions necessary to avoid violence from occurring.”

Silly. White supremacysts. Sheesh!

[Steely Tom]

I’m sure ABC’s This Week offered the incoming Trump administration a chance to counter this dubious claim. Since they’re so interested in “balance” and “diversity.”

[MtnClimber]

STOOPID [sic] RAT attempt to blame it on us.

[mass55th]

Thanks to you a-hole.

[Qwapisking]

not to worry Mr. mayorkASS...Americans KNOW who is to blame and it isn’t us. “you can run but you can’t hide for long” applies.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Nothing at all to do with widefkn open borders, just an increase in “homegrown terrorism! What b.s.!

[iamgalt]

15 Days.

[Wuli]

The fact that a ISIS influenced mad bomber was born here does not make the problem “home grown”.

[rktman]

Mayorkas: ‘Significant Increase’ over the Last 10 Years in ‘Homegrown Violent Extremism’

Gee, I wonder what party is responsible for this, hmmmmm???

[Jim W N]

That’s because for almost 20 years, since Obama in 2008, homegrown violent extremism has been encouraged from the highest levels of gov’t power with a 4-year exception under Trump.

Why doesn’t the senate at on the articles of Impeachment now that the Republicans are in charge?

[BushCountry]

That is act on...

[OldHarbor]

Mayorkas-stein as one YouTuber calls him.

[vpintheak]

Pander to the extreme left in multiple ways, including allowing and supporting leftist groups like Klantifa and BLM; then act surprised when some people have had enough. And BTW, those people who have had enough will be led on and enticed by the FEDGOV and then prosecuted.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

And a much larger increase of imported bad actors.

[Singermom]

Actually the REAL threat to America are home grown old men extremists who don’t know how to tell the truth. Dem LIARS are the real threat to Am.
