"Not everyone agrees. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) countered with its latest annual report, claiming, “This is the third year in a row that right-wing extremists have been connected to all identified extremist-related killings.” According to the ADL, between 2022 and 2024, there were 34 so-called “right-wing extremist” murderers, with 23 of them (68 percent) white supremacists. They say their attacks took 61 lives.
"Claiming all the extremist murders are by “right-wingers” sounds dramatic, and the ADL report got extensive uncritical news coverage in media outlets including CNN, The Economist, and PBS.
"Of course, those 61 deaths make up only a tiny fraction of the 58,781 murders the FBI recorded over the same three years. Still, as Trump noted, a political murder is “an attack on our entire nation.” Yet, none of the cases listed by the ADL involve a right-winger murdering a political target."
Dr. Lott then goes down their list. Many were trans, crazies murdering their wives, rape victims, nonbinaries shooting up LGBT clubs. Hardly right-wingwrs.
