Terrorism expert says political violence likely ahead of November election

Last edited Fri Jul 12, 2024, 01:30 PM - Edit history (1)

The threat of right-wing terrorism has risen steadily since the election of Donald Trump in 2016. It culminated with the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

With another election looming, the threat of more political violence is being amplified.

Jacob Ware is a research fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and the co-author of the book “God, Guns, and Sedition: Far Right Terrorism in America.”

“We’re in quite a concerning moment for white supremacists and seditious organizing in this country,” Ware said. “We’ve actually seen far right terrorism accompany the last several elections — presidential and midterm elections in the U.S.”

We can't afford to handle white nationalist terrorism with kid gloves.
