Cedric Richmond: We Need to Deal with White Supremacists Just as We Deal with Radical Islam

EXCERPT:

RICHMOND: “Wolf, I offered amendments in Homeland Security to add in domestic terrorism and these white supremacist groups by name as we dealt with radical Islamic terrorism and the Republicans defeated those amendments time after time again because they just did not want to put in domestic terrorism and deal with the issues that we were talking of. So I hope that they will reset and open their minds to how important it is to deal with domestic terrorism as we see it and as we see it on the increase in the United States. So it’s something that our chairman, Benny Thompson, has pushed forward, and we have been fighting this for at least a year trying to get them to focus on domestic terrorism as well as radical Islamic terrorism.”
