Ex FBI official: Trump radicalizing people to commit terrorism like a radical Islamic Mullah

.........

“Let’s understand something, this administration that we’re in needs to come out and intervene. What do I mean by that? If you’re on the Islamic extremism side, you’ve got that cleric radicalizing that young person online. He’s the father figure, giving the license, he’s facilitating and enabling. What we need is the similar figure — the president — to come out and say, once this is confirmed, ‘I stand for something other than hate, I rebuke all the hatred going on here.’ Until we see the person do that, that’s giving the license, we’ll continue to have this hate problem,” Figliuzzi said.

Can’t say anything because he lacks the moral authority to speak to this issue.

Plus, if he wasn’t the POTUS, like some KKK Leaders have been - he would probably be sued as the person that inspired and incited some of these incidents.

My thoughts.
