Here’s an example of a white-identity extremist group: the Republican Party. Also, the Trump Administration.

“I am aware that there are groups that do have an extraordinary commitment to their racial identity.”

One of them has 65 million members.

They call themselves “Trump voters”.

Sometimes, they use the alias “white evangelicals”.

They should be considered armed and extremely dangerous.

He can’t say yes because democrats will accuse him of being a racist and he can’t say no because Republicans will accuse him of not being racist. He’s stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I know Bilbo Bigot has trouble identifying extremist groups. So here’s a helpful link for him:

Stuff You Missed In History just did an episode on the abuse ‘extremist’ suffragists suffered at Occoquan Workhouse for the crime of quietly standing in a line with signs in front of the White House. This feels much the same: merely existing is evidence of extremism.

Ummmm… just to be clear the sovereign citizens movement isn’t a white identity group. I have no idea why anyone would think that. I volunteered for a year at a law library in Illinois helping people with civil pro se stuff and the only sovereign citizens I met there were black (2 of them). Here’s a case with Judge Posner dealing with a sovereign citizen and it was another black man:

Obviously there are white sovereign citizens but to claim it is a white identity group is crazy (almost as crazy as the people who believe this junk). Here is an amazing ruling by a Canadian judge going through everything wrong with the movement if you have time to read it. It goes through the history and why every point they make is wrong:

He could say but then you’d have verbal proof that he’s a racist.

Well, if he were to say that Black Lives Matter is an “extremist group” Sessions would earn a warm spot in the hearts of all his KKK brethren.
