US warns midterms could spark calls for extremist violence

WASHINGTON (AP) — The upcoming midterm elections are emerging as a rallying point for domestic extremists and foreign adversaries seeking to disrupt the U.S. and incite violence, the Department of Homeland Security warned Monday.

Unsubstantiated fraud claims, which have haunted the country since the 2020 presidential election, may be used to fuel unrest and doubts about the elections to decide control of Congress, DHS officials said as the agency issued a new national terrorism advisory.

A senior DHS official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the terrorism advisory before its release, told reporters that part of their objective may be to sow discord and undermine credibility in democratic institutions by promoting misinformation about upcoming races.

The alert warns that the months leading up to the midterms could see extremists using online forums and other methods to call for violence at democratic institutions, candidates, party offices, election and poll workers.

“The best way to resist such efforts is to recognize them for what they are: efforts to weaken the fabric of American society,” said Thomas Warrick, a former senior DHS official who is now with the Atlantic Council. “More will be coming as the United States heads towards the Nov. 8, 2022, election.”

BLM and Antifa are already in training, to repeat their “mostly peaceful” riots of the past two years.

“Unsubstantiated fraud claims, which have haunted the country since the 2020 presidential election.”

This headline could appear on The Babylon Bee website without an edit.

Perhaps a mail-in voting remedy to thwart white extremist violence?

"Extremist Violence" means different things depending on who's saying it.
Antifa, BLM, Looting and Burning
vs.
Flag waving white supremacist truckers with bouncy castles for the kids.

Are these the same DHS Morons overseeing the invasion into the USA of over 2 Million Illegal Aliens last war alone?

Do not believe a single word or letter of propaganda coming out of the AP See-Eye-Hay anti-American “Press” intel secret police state apparatus. They could care less about American “Elections”. It is You they want to control and USA they want to destroy.
