After reading the Department of Homeland Security Report regarding “Right-Wing Extremeism” and what amounts to Domestic Terrorism accusations the following statement was released in response.
“This is an outrageous “assessment” of extremism and it gives the appearance that the administration is politicizing homeland security issues to generate fear about people and groups that disagree with their policies,” Carter said. “Genuine threat assessments are one thing, but there is a line that distinguishes between an actual threat versus citizens simply exercising their constitutional right to free speech in speaking out against this Administration’s reckless public policies.”
