  no they aren't. think about it. White supremacists is a real thing. This is the biggest threat to the country and they showed that on Jan 6 BLM was a legitimate protests with a couple of bad actors.

    >Why would officials say that the biggest domestic terror threat comes from __white__ supremacists? >White supremacists is a real thing. Your first comment is answered by your second comment. There is no disagreement here. This part is true. White supremacists are currently the biggest domestic terror threat in the United States. The parent poster deleted their comment, which from memory described their own personal experiences as a resident in a place where BLM held a protest/rally/march/whateveryouwanttocallit. They were speaking from personal experience and they related an account of events that most of us would equate with the terrorization of innocent people who had no involvement in the triggering event or in the public events during the aftermath. It doesn't matter when you are defining the truth of a statement whether the event was perpetrated by a lone actor, "a couple of bad actors", or a group organized with the intent to go out and terrorize innocents and destroy property. The simple truth is that throwing Molotov cocktails is the act of someone hoping to terrorize another person or group. The simple truth is that harassing people in their homes and destroying the property of people who had absolutely no involvement in the trigger event and indeed, rioting in general, are events used to terrorize other people. No one ever thinks that some of those who become victims would have supported those in the march until their own families and property were attacked and destroyed. It doesn't matter that you characterize these problems as the actions of "bad actors". It is still true that the things they do are intended to terrorize others and the terroristic events occurred in the context of a BLM event. BLM will not achieve any of their goals until they can control their processes and the actions of those who come out to support them. Allowing themselves to be associated with terrorist actions will cause their efforts to be set back even further.

Maybe they support one type of terrorism? After all the officials have long engaged with terrorism around the world. With support from their voter base, just think of all the drone strikes and covert actions.

  right. The most recent operation where they took down the IS leader does not smell good. 13 civilians are dead including kids and women. Who knows what actually happened where and what's the actual tally, but I don't believe a word coming from Biden's mouth.
