'Is white supremacy not a global issue?' Ocasio-Cortez dissects FBI’s terrorism definition

Описание: US congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has questioned the FBI over a potential double standard for perpetrators of violent extremism. ‘Doesn’t it seem that because the perpetrator was Muslim that the designation would say it’s a foreign organisation?’ Ocasio-Cortez asked assistant director of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division Michael McGarrit, to which he responded, “That’s not correct.” Ocasio-Cortez then asked him if white supremacy was not a global issue. “It is a global issue,” the FBI official responded. “So why are they not charged with foreign terror?”
