Here’s another reason for Republicans not to fund the Department of Homeland Security:
A new intelligence assessment, circulated by the Department of Homeland Security this month and reviewed by CNN, focuses on the domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists and comes as the Obama administration holds a White House conference to focus efforts to fight violent extremism.
Some federal and local law enforcement groups view the domestic terror threat from sovereign citizen groups as equal to — and in some cases greater than — the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS, that garner more public attention.
The Homeland Security report, produced in coordination with the FBI, counts 24 violent sovereign citizen-related attacks across the U.S. since 2010.
This is why South Dakota Republican Rep. Isaac Latterell thinks ISIS is less dangerous than Planned Parenthood. That’s not a speck in his eye. It’s a beam.
This is why the right thinks that the only terrorists that the administration hates are people just like them. Except, of course, that they think right-wing terrorists are a myth. They’re just people who love liberty.
