Former WH Insider: Trump Admin. Ignored Far-Right Terrorism
President downplayed violent white nationalists because they were ‘his people’
I know many people would like the media to stop writing articles about President Donald Trump, but I’m afraid we can’t do that. Trump’s reign of error has left the country with a myriad of problems. Almost 500,000 dead from the coronavirus, missing vaccines and a far-right insurgency. The Jan. 6 Capitol attack was the end product of four years of growing white nationalist violence deliberately ignored by the Trump administration.
“Never before in modern U.S. history has a president condoned and abetted right-wing violence on such a scale. The conspiracy theories and grievances boosted by Trump have created the potential for enduring instability,” said retired intelligence officer Malcolm Nance in a Washington Post article. Nance recently briefed the Congressional Black Caucus on the danger of white nationalist violence.
After neo-Nazis held a torch-lit rally and chanted “Jews will not replace us,” Trump declared there were good people on both sides. Trump didn’t want to criticize them because they were his people!
