There's a report from the GAO that is often cited for this claim. But that report specifically counts deaths by terrorism -- since September 12, 2001. What an oddly specific date. I wonder why they chose it?

When someone tells you that "right wing groups" have killed more people in this country than any other terror group, remember that they arrive at that number by arbitrarily excluding the deadliest terror attack in American history. It's special pleading of the dumbest variety.

2977 people were killed on 9/11/01. 3466 Blacks were lynched between 1882 and 1968. So... no. Even "arbitrarily excluding" 9/11/01 will still not approach ONE form of right-wing terror in this country.

168 people were killed in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing... far less than the 6 killed in the 1993 WTC bombing. We could do this all day. Fact of the matter is right-wing white-supremacist violence has claimed far more lives than any other form of terrorism in the US.

Weird flex defending right wing terrorism, but you’re an asshole so didn’t expect anything less.

Matt, do a PragerU video about how Al-Qaeda is left-wing.

They're right-wing and left-wing, becuase you need both wings to fly a plane.

So you admit that without 9/11 the highest body count would belong to far right extremists? If you have to say “but 9/11” to show that your side isn’t the biggest threat then you’ve already lost.

Also, pretty sure the 9/11 terrorists, and the Saudi Government who funded the attacks, would have been and indeed are "right-wing". Religious fundamentalists are always right wing. ALWAYS
