Dopey Rep. Elissa Slotkin Calls for Adding Right-Wing Groups That Do Not Exist to Federal Terror List

Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) wants more right-wing extremist groups to be added to the terror list as she is desperate to expand the federal police state, but there is a problem: She can’t seem to find any.

Slotkin asked Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a letter to add 13 right-wing groups as terrorist organizations last week. The former CIA analyst claims that she was “struck by the threat these white supremacist groups pose, the amount of contact they have with extremists in the U.S., the minimal intelligence and diplomatic reporting we have on these groups, and the relative lack of review taken by the U.S. Government.”

These groups include Atomwaffen Division Deutschland, Blood & Honour, Combat 18, Feuerkrieg Division, Nordic Resistance Movement, Generation Identity, Northern Order, Order of Nine Angles, National Action Group and the Sonnenkrieg Division. 

Notably, at least four of these groups are already defunct. If these organizations were actually such a threat, Slotkin would probably be able to name them. Far-left special interest groups are trying to gloss over her embarrassing mistake.

“It was a great list — in 2018,” Matthew Feldman, director of the London-based Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right, said to BuzzFeed News. “Every one of [the listed groups] was active. Every one was dangerous.”

“The effort of Rep. Slotkin is commendable. Designations, underused in the European context, should help with countering the threat of violence from extreme right-wing organizations,” said Kacper Rekawek of the Counter Extremism Project. “However, this must be informed by a thorough analysis of the local far-right scenes which include a plethora of actors who often talk the talk, but do not walk the walk as far as violence is concerned.”
