FBI agents arrested a suspected white supremacist from Texas, accusing him of making hoax calls to local law enforcement to summon a police response in a scheme that targeted fmr. Homeland Security Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen and a prominent news organization.

Court documents say the police never responded, however, because the Secret Service immediately realized the call was a hoax. The cabinet member was not identified in court documents, but law enforcement officials said it was Nielsen, who at the time was Homeland Security Secretary.

The FBI said Denton met with a person in January who he thought was like minded but who turned out to be undercover FBI agent. He discussed his role in making the swatting calls and said he wanted to target journalists who wrote about white supremacists, according to the charges. That call, on Nov. 29, 2018, caused the university to shut down and issue a shelter-in-place alert. Local police painstakingly searched and cleared every building on campus.

Three other followers of the group were accused of sending similar threatening posters to staff members of the Anti-Defamation league in Washington state, to a house thought to be the residence of a Tampa, Florida reporter, and to the editor of a local Jewish publication in Arizona.

Americans must start doing something that white Republicans are afraid of doing: call out that the KKK, Neo-Nazis, the Confederacy during the Civil War and other forms of white supremacy are terrorists. Terrorism shouldn't be limited to only extremists in the middle east.

Chris Matthews apologizes to Bernie Sanders for Nazi analogy: 'I was wrong'The MSNBC “Hardball” host apologized to the Vermont senator on the air Monday, two days after comparing the self-described democratic socialist’s surging campaign to Nazi Germany’s conquest of Europe at the start of World War II. He sure was wrong Retire you crazy old putz Masky_Jay_Hoody Chris, Bernie is a communist and praises the works of Fidel Castro, not necessarily Hitler. You should have used Castro, not Hitler, in your analogy, especially since Cubans are risking their lives in makeshift boats to escape Cuba to “invade” America for safety and security.
