FBI Director Christopher Wray warned Congressman Adam Schiff to stay vigilant against the violent extremism carried out by left-wing anarchists, environmentalists and pro-abortion advocates during a Congressional hearing on Wednesday.
Schiff posed the question of how the FBI is handling the threat of “domestic violent extremism” and Wray responded with the announcement that the agency had classified “racially-motivated violent extremism” as a national threat and the number of domestic violent extremism investigations had increased by 40%. He also remarked on the over 100 attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, in addition to anarchist rioters who were charged with domestic terrorism in Atlanta for violently protesting the construction of a new police facility, and other acts of radicalism by Climate activists.
Despite Wray’s words of caution, Schiff moved on to request putting two letters from lead Hunter Biden prosecutor U.S. Attorney David Weiss into the Congressional record. He ignored the fact that Weiss rejected requests from Republican lawmakers to turn over records from the Biden investigation and that he failed to rebut allegations from IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley of impartiality. Instead, Schiff thanked Wray for his leadership and praised his integrity.
It would appear from Schiff’s behavior that Democrats and their extreme-left cohorts are more interested in protecting the Biden family rather than protecting Americans from the dangers of violent, leftist extremism. Despite the many instances of dangerous and radical behavior by left-wing protesters, Schiff continues to ignore their activities and potential threat to national security.
It is because of this inaction that it is so important for lawmakers like Wray to actively remind the public of the growing threat of violent left-wing extremism.
The FBI has identified the threat and increased the number of investigations to prevent and deter any further attacks – which Americans can be thankful for. However, it is essential that elected officials take the lead in making sure that leftists are not allowed to carry out their violent actions and endanger the safety and security of all people in the United States.
One thing that I wish one of the lawmakers there would have asked Wray about is the numbers—How many left-wing terrorists have been arrested verse open investigation into their crimes?
