Trump wants to label left-wing activity that leads to violence as domestic terrorism. Truth is many recent attacks came from the right.
MAGA assailants targeted Mike Pence, Nancy Pelosi and her husband and the Democratic governors of Michigan and Pennsylvania. They sent pipe bombs to the homes of Barack Obama and Joe Biden in 2018.
In the spring, a gunman hunted Minnesota state lawmakers, killing one as well as her husband.
Once again Trump is promoting a false ideology which is dividing our nation. If left wing activity leading to violence is domestic terrorism, then right wing activity leading to violence is also domestic terrorism.
Please inform Trump as such.
