White racists are the main terrorist threat within the United States. This opinion was expressed by President Joe Biden, a fragment of his speech was published by CNN.
The American leader called the white supremacists and members of the Ku Klux Klan “the most dangerous people in the United States.”
“I will make sure my Justice Department and its Civil Rights Department pay close attention to these people. I will make sure that we essentially focus on fighting the rise of the white supremacy movement,” said Biden.
The politician stressed that supporters of these views are “mentally ill and dangerous people.” According to him, the new administration will examine the influence of former military and police officers on the growth of the movement’s popularity.
Earlier it became known that two employees of the US presidential administration in the field of the environment, who were appointed by President-elect Joe Biden, consider systemic racism to be one of the important causes of negative climate change. It is noted that climate problems along with social justice issues will be central to the new American administration.
