WINNING? Far-Right violence and murder soaring under T-rump, according to new report

According to a new report by the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, far-right violence has soared under President T-rump to some of the highest levels not seen in nearly 50 years.

Violence by white supremacists and other right-wing extremist disciples that has been rising since Barack Obama’s presidency and has surged since Donald Trump took office, the data shows. Right-wing domestic extremists took the lives of at least 50 people in 2018, up from the 37 the previous year. Last year was the fourth-deadliest for extremist attacks since 1970.

The far right accounted for 73% of extremist murders in the U.S. between 2009 and 2018, according to the ADL data, compared to 23% by Islamic extremists.

Secretary Kevin McAleenan, Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary, reported that white supremacist violence as a “huge issue” and an “increasingly concerning threat” in a Capitol Hill hearing just last month.

“Right-wing extremists have been one of the largest and most consistent sources of domestic terror incidents in the United States for many years; they have murdered hundreds of people in this country over the last ten years alone,” the ADL stated. “To date, there have not been any known Antifa-related murders.”

“White supremacists use even more extreme violence to spread their ideologies of hate, to intimidate ethnic minorities, and undermine democratic norms,” the report concluded.
