Knowles: “No Such Thing As Right Wing Extremism”

“Let’s say the Patriot Front, it’s not just a bunch of feds, okay? When the fringe people on our side march around and make a fuss, we ignore or reject them.

“When the fringe people on the left go out and commit visible crimes and harm people and make a big fuss, the mainstream left embraces them. That’s all you need to know. That is all you need to know about extremism in America.

“We hear so much about right-wing extremism. Give me a break. There is no such thing, for all practical purposes, as right-wing extremism in America.

“If Patriot Front is the best example they’ve got, it’s a joke. You wanna see political extremism, you wanna see real consequential political extremism, show me BLM, show me Antifa.

“You know, all the talk of political violence – New Republic rather says Donald Trump is Hitler. Show me Donald Trump embracing Patriot Front. I don’t see it.” – Michael Knowles, conveniently ignoring racist mass shootings, the Proud Boys, the armed militias, Charlottesville, QAnon, January 6th, and countless other examples.
