Trying to justify his racist Islamophobia, Republican President Donald Trump recently said, “According to data provided by the Department of Justice, the vast majority of individuals convicted of terrorism And terrorism related offenses Since 9/11 came from outside our country. . . ”

That data was compiled by a Senate committee led by Jeff Sessions, not the DOJ. Furthermore, most of the people convicted faced charges for threats that were not planned or carried out in the US. Plus many of the charges Also include nonviolent offenses such as fraud or immigration violations. Domestic terrorism charges with no international link were not included. I guess Republican Senators don’t consider terrorism based on things other than radical Islam are a problem. Those killed, injured, or that lost loved ones in domestic terrorism would likely disagree!

Donald Trump is caught lying again!
