Why Isn’t the Buffalo Shooting Suspect Considered a “Domestic Terrorist”? | Amanpour and Company

Описание: While the U.S. government was laser-focused on the “global war on terror,” domestic terror – driven by racial hate – was escalating. Today President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden paid their respects to the families of Saturday’s mass shooting victims in Buffalo, New York. Authorities say it was a racially motivated attack, by an 18-year-old self-described white supremacist, in which 10 people lost their lives. Tom O’Connor, a domestic terrorism expert and retired FBI official, speaks with Hari Sreenivasan. This interview is part of Exploring Hate, our ongoing series on antisemitism, racism, and extremism.
