President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the agency in charge of curbing domestic terrorism told senators that White supremacists have become the “most persistent and lethal threat” to the U.S. from within the country.

“White supremacist extremists, from a lethality standpoint over the last two years, particularly when you look at 2018 and 2019, are certainly the most persistent and lethal threat when we talk about domestic violent extremists,” said Chad Wolf, who has been heading the Department of Homeland Security in an acting capacity since late last year.

The response is notable considering that Trump and Attorney General William Barr have sought to portray the nation as besieged by “left-wing” agitators fomenting violence in protests over racial injustice. After a series of attacks blamed on racism and bigotry in 2019, Trump told reporters that he doesn’t consider “white nationalism” to be a growing problem.

Wolf also told senators that the U.S. faces threats of election interference from Russia, China and Iran and that “Russia looks to denigrate former Vice President Biden.” Wolf said there’s no current intelligence proving that Iran or China have yet carried out attacks.

1. What happened to this guy?

Maybe envisioning what life will be like without Trump, and sensing that it might not be good for him?

2. The good thing is they are right out in the open and

we know who they are for later considerations. Cops think these armed thugs are their friends when the thugs really want to kill them all.

3. Boogaloo Bois ARE killing police officers at every chance they get.

Their mixed up ideology says that police officers have to be eliminated first, so there is no resistance to the Boogaloo Bois leading Whites in a race war against non-Whites.

Looks like Chad Wolf is stating what should be obvious to organizations like the FBI.
