McCabe Is Coming For You
Thank God Donald Trump fired Andrew McCabe from his top post at the FBI. The former deputy director was all in on the Russia collusion hoax, but his delusions are far worse than anyone ever imagined.
McCabe spoke last week at a forum hosted by the University of Chicago. He was there to offer his perspective on the events of January 6, 2021.
Like Kamala Harris who compared January 6th to 9/11, McCabe alleged that the Capitol rioters "share many of the same characteristics" of Islamic extremists. He also parroted the outrageous claims of Attorney General Merrick Garland that "political violence" is occurring in school board meetings and local elections around the country.
It's important to understand what McCabe is doing here. He's making the argument that there is a widespread domestic terrorism originating on the political right that justifies a massive crackdown by the Deep State.
He said we needed a "rapid and complete response by law enforcement" at every level, adding that the FBI is "reallocating counterterrorism resources to increase their focus on right-wing extremism."
But McCabe said it wasn't enough to focus on the "fringes of the right-wing movement." He said that the "mainstream" conservative movement had to be investigated because:
"They didn't assume [on January 6th] that that group of people – business owners, white people from the suburbs, educated, employed – presented a threat of violence, and now we know very clearly that they do."
So, there you have it. The left's profile of a national security threat to the country is a white, suburban, educated business owner. Comments like this explain why so many Americans now see the FBI as "Biden's personal Gestapo."
