CBS News and reporter Norah O’Donnell shared this report about extremist attacks in the U.S. Notice anything interesting about it?
Between the end of '01 & Dec. '16 there were nearly 3 times as many fatal attacks by right-wing extremists than Islamist extremists in U.S. pic.twitter.com/VBk7iAJnNc

"Between the end of '01." Hmm, did anything happen shortly BEFORE the end of '01? https://t.co/KKu1Y2pcis

Don't be amazed if people don't trust the media if you start your count on September 12, 2001… https://t.co/TdNsihwNKX

How convenient for you to exclude Sep 11, 2001.

"How do we illustrate white supremacy as an extreme threat?"
"We could always erase 9/11."

You love to lie don't you. I think you are forgetting a few attacks.

Aside from the obvious error here, this ignores unsuccessful attacks that would have upended the numbers. https://t.co/VjdffA33Zq

What is the source for this ? Who counts as "right-wing extremists" ? https://t.co/hjUbLzKCEY

Between 2016 and 2017, 100% more Congressmen were shot by liberal loons than conservatives.
