404 Media has reported that in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder,
Trump’s Justice Department deleted a study from its website stating that
right-wing violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and
domestic violent extremism” in the United States. This comes as the Trump
administration and Republicans generally blame political violence solely on the
left.
The study was available online at least until Friday, according to
404 Media,
but can now only be found via a Wayback Machine link.
The study, published in 2024 and conducted by the National Institute of
Justice, is titled, “What NIJ Research Tells Us About Domestic Terrorism.” The
first words are: “Militant, nationalistic, violent extremism has increased in
the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to
outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.”
“Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically
motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227
events that took more than 520 lives,” the study noted. “In this same period,
far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78
lives.”
It’s highly likely that the DOJ took this study down because it doesn’t fit
with the narrative the GOP is trying so desperately to push about the left
being to blame for the bulk of political violence in this country, willfully
ignoring countless examples of that not being the case at all."
