The Daily Signal
The ADL has long padded its “right-wing extremism” by including incidents of nonideological criminality by those suspected of being white supremacists.
It’s not irrelevant that white supremacists are prone to criminality and murder, but these incidents do not rise to political terrorism in a way commonly understood.
Contra Omar, attempting to quantify political violence isn’t scientific “data.” Many attacks, such as the one on Paul Pelosi, were perpetrated by mentally ill people with no coherent ideological outlook.
However, it’s not political violence.
There are many similar surveys of political violence, including those from the FBI, that suffer from similar problems.
