Biden: White Supremacists Are ‘the Most Lethal Terrorist Threat in the Homeland’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: “The rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans during the pandemic, and the rise of anti-Semitism here in America and around the world — the through line is that hate never goes away. It never — I thought, in all the years I have been involved, I thought once we got through it, it would go away, but it doesn’t. It only hides. It only hides until some seemingly legitimate person breathes some oxygen under the rocks where they’re hiding and gives it some breath. I’ve said it before, and all my colleagues here know it, according to United States intelligence community, domestic terrorism from white supremacist is the most lethal terrorist threat in the homeland. To that end, our administration is carrying out the first ever comprehensive effort to tackle the threat passed by — posed by domestic terrorism, including white supremacy. We’re doing so by taking action to reduce online radicalism and recruitment to violence. We’re also disrupting networks that inspire violence and domestic terrorists by providing resources to communities to build resilience. We cannot and must not give hate any safe harbor.”
