Tucker examines the DOJ’s recent efforts to combat the greatest threat that doesn’t exist in our country: political conservatism. Highlights include:
“On his very first day as president, Joe Biden ordered federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to prepare a review of how the administration should fight terrorism. By last June, that report was complete. It concluded that after 20 years, Islamic terror is no longer the greatest threat to this country. Instead, the agencies declared, that domestic political extremism is ‘the most urgent terrorism threat the United States faces today.'”
“The Biden administration declared, ‘the most lethal elements of today’s domestic terror threat are political conservatives.'”
“This claim is ridiculous. On its face, there is no substantial right-wing terror threat in this country, certainly not in relevant terms, there just isn’t, and no one’s shown there is. The White House knows this, of course. So they’re working hard to create the illusion of that threat.”
“When you don’t have enough domestic terrorists to justify a political purge, then you just go ahead and create them, and that’s exactly what they’ve been doing. This week the campaign against this new American Al Qaeda entered a new and very ominous phase. Two days ago, the DOJ announced the creation of a new domestic terrorism unit. It will target “anti-authority ideologues.”
Now, keep in mind, this county was founded by people who were “anti-authority ideologues,” that’s why they created America and baked the idea of opposing authority so it doesn’t get too big and take over your life into our founding documents.”
“It’s not just the government, of course. It’s people acting on behalf of the government calling for the same thing, which is censorship of political opinions. What you’re seeing here is dangerous, far more dangerous than ‘domestic terror threat’ they’ve been bloviating about for the last three days. It contravenes the First Amendment. Under the First Amendment, the government cannot coordinate with private actors to censor free speech, period.”
“There is no domestic terrorism statute in the United States, so the interpretation of domestic terrorism is up to the FBI and the justice department. If there’s such a problem with domestic terrorism, then why aren’t they arresting people and charging them under existing statues? It’s because they’re making it up.”
