CNN’s Peter Bergen Suggests Right Wing Extremists and Jihadists Are the Same

EXCERPT:

BERGEN: "This is the 14th vehicle attack, terrorist attack we’ve seen since 2014. Most of them have been jihadist terrorist attacks, but obviously you had the Charlottesville attack by a right-wing extremist just in the past week. We also had the attack in London with a car just outside of a mosque ramming a group of Muslims who were celebrating Ramadan, killing one. So, you know, terrorists learn from other terrorist incidents. It’s a bit like school shootings where there are copycats and this mode of terrorist attack is becoming frequent, obviously it requires absolutely no training to do these kinds of attacks. That’s the first point I’d make."
