MSNBC: 2009 DHS Report on Right-Wing Extremism Has Been Proven True

MSNBC's Joy Reid: 2009 Homeland Security Report On Right-Wing Extremism Proven True (NewsBusters)

It seems the hosts of MSNBC’s daytime programs for June 10 have been sharing the same, predictable anti-conservative talking points concerning the Las Vegas shooting earlier this week. While Andrea Mitchell asked her guest if the increase in violence had anything to do with having an “African American president,” Joy Reid claimed that these events proved the rise of “right-wing extremism.”
                       
Reid stated that the discredited Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report from 2009 has proved “to be self evident by what we’re seeing.” Although the report that described the “rise of right-wing extremism”coming from “disgruntled military veterans,” among others, was later withdrawn due to conservative outrage, Reid’s guest, Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, agreed with Reid, insisting that the report was “spot on.”
