From the Director's testimony:
"They don't have a formal membership in an organization. They don't have clear command control and direction, in the way that, say, an al-Qaida sleeper cell might have. And that that's much more challenging to pursue."
"The number of arrests, for example, of racially motivated violent extremists who are what you would categorize as white supremacists last year was almost triple the number it was in my first year as director."
“The amount of angry, hateful, unspeakable, combative, violent even, rhetoric on social media exceeds what anybody in their worst imagination (thinks) is out there."
“The problem of domestic terrorism has been metastasizing across the country for a long time now, and it’s not going away any time soon. We viewed it as such a critical threat that back in June 2019 we elevated racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism to our highest threat priority, on the same level as ISIS and homegrown violent extremists.”
Well they had all kinds of domestic terrorists in Portland, Seattle and Indi and didn't do a damned thing about them. They looted, murdered and burned buildings to the ground. They did it all summer and are still doing it.
Where was the FBI then??
The DHS and the FBI have determined that a violent attack on our nation's capitol in an attempt to subvert our very democracy and hang our Vice President is a larger threat to our nation.
Even more so when those same people brag about how heavily armed they are and about how this isn't over, as they mindlessly believe the already disproven lies they're being fed by people who have a vested interest in fooling them.
Pretty obvious.
The fact that you support and deflect for domestic terrorism directed at our nation's capitol doesn't mean there's something wrong with someone
else.

About all those fences, barricades, and razor wire...... what are they going to do when no one even tries to get in, but instead makes sure
they can't get
out of the little prison they built for themselves, in Mordor On The Potomac?
And then we all just get on with our lives while they rot away in there in impotence?
"If you make it too tough for the enemy to get in, then you won't be able to get out."
-Murphy's Rules of Combat
There is a fence around the White House. Has been for years. A bunch of fearful presidents?
None seems to care if there is a fence around the White House but god forbid congress be granted similar protections.
(I really hope it will be taken down eventually, it's a shame you guys created the need)
Excuse you..... what "need"?
In general when a violent mob attacks our nation's capital, hunting down congress critters, assaulting and injuring and killing police...there is a need.
Does the White House need a fence?
They want desperately to equate the riots in the cities with the attack on the capitol and our electoral process.
That level of intellectual dishonesty demonstrates that they have a pretty good idea of the implications here.
Here is another level of intellectual dishonesty...
"...they stayed within the velvet ropes..."
I think it's obvious to anyone with one functioning braincell that that was not the case.
"...they didn't have guns therefore it's not an insurrection..."
Several problems with that...nowhere can I find a definition of "insurrection" that mentions guns. Then, they're spinning around and calling the George Floyd riots "insurrection" and the recent "invasion" of the Georgia state capital an "insurrection"...no guns involved in either one of those (using THEIR definition of "no guns"..."... And then, their claim of "no guns" is a lie anyway
since many did, indeed, have guns. It's hard to keep the lies and spin straight - a real moving target.
"...they didn't cause much damage...unlike the riots"
Estimates of damage to the Capital is upwards of
30 million dollars. Taxpayers will have to pay for that, not insurance.
