DOJ Deletes Report Showing Far-Right Terrorism at 87% of Attacks
Description
In this episode, Hawk discusses how the Department of Justice deleted one of its own reports on domestic terrorism just days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Hawk focuses on how the study revealed that far-right extremists are responsible for the overwhelming majority of ideologically motivated homicides since 1990, accounting for 87% of politically driven killings compared to just 13% from the left.
Hawk examines how the DOJ’s National Institute of Justice compiled decades of data showing far-right extremism outpacing all other forms of domestic terrorism. The study documented over 520 deaths from 227 far-right incidents, compared to 78 deaths from left-wing attacks. Despite its importance, the DOJ removed the report from its website following political pressure, leaving only archived copies available.
Hawk highlights the dangers of deleting uncomfortable truths and how figures like Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and JD Vance are shaping narratives that run counter to the facts. He also looks at how MAGA supporters continue to spread conspiracy theories about COVID-19, election fraud, and immigration, fueling extremist violence.
This discussion underscores the growing connection between authoritarian politics, far-right movements, and domestic terrorism, as well as the concerning trend of military veterans being recruited into extremist groups. Hawk warns that erasing data doesn’t erase reality—it only makes the threat more dangerous.
