FBI Director: White Supremacist Violence Poses a ‘Pervasive’ and ‘Persistent’ Threat in U.S.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray believes white supremacy poses a “persistent” and “pervasive” threat to the United States–in sharp contrast to the occasional “both sides” rhetoric emanating from the White House on issues of white nationalist and white supremacist violence.
Wray’s remarks came during a Thursday hearing in front of the House Appropriations Committee under an official agenda related to the FBI’s budget request for the 2020 fiscal year.
Rep. José E. Serrano (D-N.Y.) grilled Wray on the extent of the FBI’s dedication–or perceived lack thereof–to the threat posed by white identity-based terrorism. Law enforcement experts have spoken out before about deficiencies when it comes to addressing the threat of far-right terrorism.
