soil,' ignoring a string of white supremacist attacks.

On the first episode of his new podcast, former Vice President Mike Pence falsely claimed there have been no major terrorist attacks in the 20 years since September 11, 2001, ignoring a spate of white supremacist terrorist attacks - and even the persistence of violent jihadism - in recent years.

"For the last 20 years I have marveled at the heroes that have stepped forward to defend our nation, to bring us to a place now, 20 years on, without a major terrorist event taking place on American soil," said Pence on the first episode of "American Freedom with Mike Pence" a new podcast sponsored by the conservative Young America's Foundation.

Pence repeated the claim four separate times over the course of the 48-minute episode, often using it to justify the War on Terror and the costly invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq that the United States initiated in the years following 9/11.

"This country should be proud of how we've responded 20 years on," Pence said.

6. Deadly anthrax attack on US capital a month after 9/11

One of the main points of terrorism is to make people afraid. The deadly anthrax was sent through the mail, it even corrupted mail sorting equipment. Millions of Americans spent the next week or two opening their mail with f#cking oven mitts. That's terrorism defined.

The anthrax attack hit the US capital when we should have been at the height of alert after 9/11

10. Gun deaths in the US are not classified as terrorism but from 2001 to 2015, the number

of gun deaths in the US was 406,496 and the US deaths by terrorism, including 9/11 was 3,380.
406,496 to 3,380. Americans are much more dangerous to other Americans than terrorists are.
And it's gotten worse since then.
