Let's get something straight. Comparing stateside homegrown terrorism from other than Muslim Extremists serves no purpose in this discussion. All it does is create a diversion from a specific threat. There is no doubt that there are other types of threats in this country coming from other types of extremists. NO ONE is arguing about this. But let's also account for the fact that there is a significant Muslim Extremist threat working hard to hurt this country. The way you deal with an external threat is completely different than how you deal with an internal threat. BOTH need to be addressed and no one solution will solve both. Right now there is a stated threat from Muslim extremists saying they will try to use the refugee program, our inability to secure our borders, and the gaps in our immigration system to get into this country and cause us harm. How about we mitigate that? Instead, when this is even suggested, the left, the media, etc produce false rhetoric and diversionary statements asking about the internal threat. Let's deal with that too.
Let's see, for the external threat we have agencies such as the CIA, DOD, DEA, DOS, and NSA. That is their job. Help them mitigate the threat by putting HUMINT/SIGINT in the right places, take down what finances International terror regimes, vet those trying to come into this country, and essentially put as many obstacles in the way of the would be terrorist from getting into the US. Internally, we have the FBI, DHS (Border Control/Coast Guard), Police, ATF, and then some to deal with homegrown threats. Instead of saying "but what about the homegrown threat," which no one denies exists, we just agree that we must also effectively deal with the external threat as well. THAT is what the Republican base and President Trump are trying to do.

Alyson inserted the comparisons to which Duffy agreed they exist. His issue is that the left and media seem to want to avoid the discussion about how to deal with the external threat. Every time someone starts a discussion about dealing with Islamic Extremists, the left and the media come back with "what about the white radicals and/or homegrown threats?" They are two different discussions when it comes to effectively dealing with them.

Hahaha! He doesn't know. This man has no business being in Congress. He is saying there is no White supremacist or extremist movement that is recruiting anti-Muslim, anti-minority, anti-immigrant individuals and that the movement isn't global. Nutter.

He never said such a thing... Alyson assumed that. He responded by saying these do exist but that we still need to address the external, threat which is trying to recruit more would-be extremists to attack this nation using an international platform. It can't be simply called an "extremist" problem as Alyson put it, which can be addressed the same exact way. They can't. There needs to be a discussion of both and right now it absolutely seems as if the media and the left want to avoid the discussion of the external threat.

Actually her challenging him that the non-Muslim extremist attack in Quebec and others like it are not "isolated" incidents which he deflected from answering is indeed a good assumption that he won't acknowledge there is a lack of media emphasis on terrorist attacks that have nothing to do with ISIS/ISIL. It was an easy question.
