Homeland Security completed this report months ago.. Funny how this information is withheld while trump runs his mouth about a far lesser threat.
Delayed Homeland Security Report Warns of ‘Lethal’ White Supremacy
An annual assessment that a whistle-blower said was withheld for months did not hold back on the threat from violent extremists and tagged Russia as the primary source of disinformation.
The Department of Homeland Security warned on Tuesday that violent white supremacy was the “most persistent and lethal threat in the homeland” in an annual assessment that a former intelligence chief had accused the agency of withholding in deference to President Trump.
The report also warns that extremist groups could be inspired to attack because of restrictions to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
“We also remain particularly concerned about the impacts from Covid-19, where anti-government and anti-authority violent extremists could be motivated to conduct attacks in response to perceived infringement of liberties and government overreach,” the report said.

But isn't there good people on both sides
Sure
but also in that statement, he stated he wasn't referring to White Supremacists and Antifa when he said that.
Amazing how people repeat the soundbite, and not the entire quote, isn't it?
The fact he was there defending people protesting against the removal of a confederate symbol says more than anything.
Black people celebrate the confederacy Brazil has an entire day for the confederacy. So Wtf are you talking about? Can you please get an education
I'm well educated. Brazil is not America.
Yes, There Were Black Confederates. Here’s Why
A few thousand blacks did indeed fight for the Confederacy. Significantly, African-American scholars from Ervin Jordan and Joseph Reidy to Juliet Walker and
Henry Louis Gates Jr., editor-in-chief of
The Root, have stood outside this impasse, acknowledging that a few blacks, slave and free, supported the Confederacy.
How many supported it? No one knows precisely. But by drawing on these scholars and focusing on sources written or published during the war, I estimate that between 3,000 and 6,000 served as Confederate soldiers. Another 100,000 or so blacks, mostly slaves, supported the Confederacy as laborers, servants and teamsters. They built roads, batteries and fortifications; manned munitions factories—essentially did the Confederacy’s dirty work.
We know that blacks made up more than half the toilers at Richmond’s Tredegar Iron Works and more than 75 percent of the workforce at Selma, Ala.’s naval ordnance plant. And slaves grew the crops that fed the Confederacy. As Frederick Douglass noted, blacks were “the stomach of the rebellion.”
The total number of black Confederate soldiers is statistically insignificant: They made up less than 1 percent of the 800,000 black men of military age (17-50) living in the Confederate states, based on 1860 U.S. census figures, and less than 1 percent of at least 750,000 Confederate soldiers.
The myth of black Confederates is arguably the most controversial subject of the Civil War. Over the past four years, the debate over whether or not blacks fought for the Confederacy has been the most discussed topic on Civil War Memory, a popular website attracting teachers and scholars from...

Now shut up. You racists and your disingenuous bullshit are pathetic. Blacks in the south were slaves. I doubt if many volunteered to serve. Even George Wallace got 3 percent black support.
