President Donald Trump’s administration ignored warnings from the Department of Homeland Security to greater prioritize threats of domestic terrorism “such as those from white supremacists,” CNN reported Thursday
.
“The White House wanted to focus only on the jihadist threat which, while serious, ignored the reality that racial supremacist violence was rising fast here at home. They had major ideological blinders on,” CNN’s source said. The seemingly purposeful denial or minimizing the existence of violence that comes from white supremacists is something that Trump has done since denying that he even knew who the former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and prominent white supremacist David Duke was after Duke endorsed Trump for president in 2016. “I don’t know anything about David Duke,” Trump said then.
