Russian Asset / Trump Fluffer Benny Johnson has a bigly yuge meltdown as Rep. Ro Khanna asks "WHO'S YOUR DADDY?"

Khanna pushed back, citing reporting from the Anti-Defamation League that noted “all extremist-related murders in 2024 were committed by right-wing extremists,” the third year in a row in which right-wing extremists had been “connected to all identified extremist-related killings.”

Having been directly rebuked, Johnson fired off at the ADL as being unreliable, and questioned the accuracy of its data.

“You can't use the ADL! The ADL uses prison violence and ascribes right-wing – uh – white nationalist prison violence as right-wing hate,” Johnson said. “We disavow that entirely, that's not part of our movement, you can't bundle that data together. I refuse to acknowledge that data on this program!”

Despite Johnson’s assertions, the ADL’s report is supported by a number of other studies, including a study published last month by the libertarian think tank the Cato Institute. That study found that terrorist attacks propagated by “right-wingers” accounted for 11% of politically motivated murders since 1975, whereas “left-wing terrorists” were responsible for 2% during that same time period.

Archived report linked at the article

A good article worth reading before you download the removed report.

But you can download the full report here (PDF): WHAT NIJ RESEARCH
TELLS US ABOUT DOMESTIC TERRORISM

The Department of Justice’s own research proves what the Anti-Defamation League and other organizations have concluded for years. The far-right is the primary driver of political violence.

We’ve summarized the study that Trump and Bondi didn’t want you to read.
Right-Wing Extremism: The Central Driver of Domestic Terrorism in the United States

The report from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) underscores a sobering reality: right-wing extremism remains the most persistent and deadly form of domestic terrorism in the United States. Drawing from decades of federal research, the report maps out the scope of violent extremism and provides an evidence-based picture of which ideologies pose the greatest threat to public safety.
