Duffy: 'There's a difference'(between) white terror and Muslim terror

http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/07/politics/sean-duffy-white-terrorism-cnntv/index.html

(CNN)Rep. Sean Duffy said Tuesday "there is a difference" between terror acts by white people and those committed by Muslims. CNN's Alisyn Camerota asked on "New Day" about President Donald Trump's recent immigration and travel ban, which was aimed at fighting threats of radical Islam.
"Why isn't the President talking about the white terrorists who mowed down six Muslims praying at their mosque," she asked.
"I don't know," the Wisconsin Republican replied, referencing the mass shooting at a mosque in Quebec City last month. "There's a difference."
"You don't have a group like ISIS or al Qaeda that is inspiring people around the world to take up arms and kill innocents. ... That was a one off, Alisyn," Duffy added.
Camerota mentioned 1995's Oklahoma City bombing before asking if the Trump surrogate believed that white terrorists exist. But Duffy said those incidents do not compare.
"So you give me two examples, right," Duffy replied. "If you want to compare this one person in the last 10 years that you can give an example ... Oklahoma City bombing was 20 years ago."
And "that's different than the whole movement that has taken place through ISIS, that's inspired attacks," he said.
Camerota also mentioned Dylann Roof, a white man who killed nine black Americans in a Charleston church.

"You're right. There is a difference. There have been more attacks in the U.S. than Muslim attacks. The other difference is THE FUCKING F.B.I. HAS SAID WE HAVE MORE TO WORRY ABOUT FROM WHITE TERRORISM!" Dumbass!

Brown people are, well, just, you know, not to be trusted.

You can't argue with this logic. It's like all rethugs are born this way, missing critical thinking skills but possessing the awesome power of bullshitting.

and consistently garners an alarmingly high website traffic rating via Alexa. Add to that the now old-fashioned Klan and the miscreant Kek/Pepe worshiping freaks that follow Richard Spencer and you have a very alarming rise and spread of hard-core, violent white-supremacist extremists.
