The U.S. government is acknowledging for the first time that right-wing extremists were responsible for the majority of fatal domestic terrorist attacks last year, according to an internal report circulated by the Department of Homeland Security last week and obtained by Yahoo News.
A review of last year’s domestic terrorist incidents by a DHS fusion center — which shares threat-related information between federal, state and local partners — found that although civil unrest and antigovernment violence were associated with “non-affiliated, right-wing and left-wing actors, right-wing [domestic violent extremists] were responsible for the majority of fatal attacks in the Homeland in 2020.”

While independent think tanks and outside groups have been pointing to the rise in ring-wing violence for some time, this appears to be the first known instance of an official government or law enforcement agency clearly acknowledging the trend, though senior officials have noted the rise in white supremacist attacks. The report also comes not long after the end of the Trump administration, which was criticized for downplaying right-wing violence.
Former President Donald Trump, in particular, frequently referred to the threat from antifa, a loose movement of left-wing activists.
“The government has not said this publicly, law enforcement has not said this publicly,” said Seth Jones of the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank. “This is new.”
The findings about right-wing extremism are “consistent with every single assessment of data I’ve seen, not just in 2020 but in 2019,” Jones said after reviewing the fusion center report.
In October of last year, CSIS published its own analysis of domestic terrorist activity in the U.S. for the first eight months of 2020. Its data showed that white supremacists and other right-wing extremists conducted two-thirds of the terrorist plots and attacks in the nation during that period.

They are coming for all right wingers.
Did they issue a report on property damage caused by left wing versus right wing extremists?
When did BLM & Antifa get categorized as “right wing”???
We should all assume that we’re being monitored by operatives of the Feels Up/Heels Up Administration.
Total lies. This government is hopelessly corrupt.
The gaslighting will continue until nothing you believe is even remotely true.
They won’t cite examples. Because they can’t. Because there aren’t any.
Such as......
Rioters who attack police and burn buildings are "activists"?
Yup. Pretty active.
And yes, Alejandro Mayorkas, the Real American™, is definitely coming for the Gringos.
He and his friends are desperate to reclaim the land El Papa "gave" them back in 1495.
“plots” = FIB Entrapments.
Left burnt down every city and I didn’t see any right wing violence. Wonder where it all was.
The inmates are running the asylum!

CALL YOUR CONGRESSCRITTER and call BS! For DHS to say this, there has to be a Production Requirement to produce the intelligence product. The product has methodology and analytical standards it must adhere to.
Tell your Congressidiot you want to know what that says.
Not allowing comments. LOL!
I noticed the same thing.
Antifa/BLM were responsible for ~50 deaths.
Lets see the data on RW deaths.
I’m sure all the endless rioting was not counted, as it was only “protesting”.
And I’m sure this big increase had to do with the small numbers. Like 2 is more than 1. Big whoop.
Tell me, what are these “right-wing terrorist” actions? Since I sure never heard of any.
Stinking Communist Propaganda Alert!
Consider that Yahoo News is one of the worst propaganda organizations on the Internet. I won’t believe this until it is verified bay another reputable source like CNN /s
