Democrats Weaponized FBI To Falsely Claim White Supremacists Posed Greater Terror Threat Than Radical Islamists

The FBI suffered a black eye in February 2023 when an internal FBI memo from the Richmond field office claimed that radical-traditionalist Catholic ideology could attract racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists. The FBI quickly retracted the document, acknowledging that it did not meet the bureau s standards, that it was committed to protecting First Amendment rights to free speech and religion, and that it does not conduct investigations based solely on religious affiliations. Director Wray told Congress he felt aghast when he learned of it.

Trump s FBI nominee Kash Patel has expressed his intentions to restructure the FBI by separating its intelligence and law enforcement functions, aiming to prevent the misuse of surveillance powers and ensure a clearer focus on criminal investigations. Kash should get rid of intelligence branch, said Friend. They write the papers that drive the mission. Get rid of the quota system. Eliminate executive positions occupying space. They don t want to do their job. They just want new jobs and so they invent solutions to problems and then create the problems.

Patel has also indicated that he intends to hold accountable those he believes have engaged in partisan activities, including pursuing legal actions against individuals in the media whom he accuses of disseminating false information about American citizens.

Most of all, FBI must get back to doing its job. The politicization of the FBI risks distracting the agency. President Trump should reform the IC so that it no longer spreads misinformation such as Biden s false claim that white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today.
