In the latest episode of The McCarthy Report, Rich Lowry and I explored Attorney General Merrick Garland’s claim that he has never, in his long career in law enforcement and as a federal judge, seen a “more dangerous threat to democracy than the invasion of the Capitol” on January 6. If I were inclined to take Garland seriously, I’d be stunned. But, alas, he is best understood as just another spouter of the insidious narrative that currently drives Democratic politics — and not for the first time.
As detailed in reporting by NR’s Caroline Downey, the AG said last week that the top domestic extremist threat comes from “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists, specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race.” Garland’s remarks, which were echoed by Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, came during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on domestic terrorism.
