Trump says white supremacist terror is fake news. But at least 15 chilling attacks and 2 bomb plots since his campaign prove otherwise. motherjones.com/crime-justice/…
2/ What has Trump done about right-wing terror since Charlottesville almost a year ago? “We have gotten no indication from the administration that they have so much as lifted a finger,” says a top US senator. motherjones.com/crime-justice/…
3/ Trump didn’t just keep quiet about a new law directing him to confront white supremacist groups—he soon went back to retweeting hateful anti-Muslim content motherjones.com/crime-justice/…
4/ How a former FBI agent described the effect to me of Trump’s rhetoric on white supremacists: “It’s very dangerous because these people who have a history of violence now feel they have state sanction to commit violence.” motherjones.com/crime-justice/…
5/ Remember the mosque bombing last year that ex-Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka claimed was a “fake hate crime” ginned up by leftists? The three suspects eventually charged were three white guys from a right-wing militia group motherjones.com/crime-justice/…
6/ The ringleader didn’t just allegedly bomb the mosque and try to bomb an abortion clinic—he’d also recently submitted a proposal to help build Trump’s border wall motherjones.com/crime-justice/…
7/ Meanwhile, 3 others planned to bomb Muslim “cockroaches” and “fucking raghead bitches,” but not till the day after the election so that they wouldn’t hurt Trump’s chances of winning. Their attorney tried to dismiss this as—wait for it—“locker room talk” motherjones.com/crime-justice/…
8/ Also see @ProPublica’s Documenting Hate project—much tenacious and valuable reporting from @ACInvestigates and his colleagues on the violence by the emboldened white supremacist movement projects.propublica.org/graphics/hatec…
