> In the legislation above: "White supremacists and other far-right-wing extremists are the most significant domestic terrorism threat facing the United States."

This isn't just something the legislators made up, it's a factually true statement.

From the CSIS[1]:

> Far-right terrorism has significantly outpaced terrorism from other types of perpetrators, including from far-left networks and individuals inspired by the Islamic State and al-Qaeda. Right-wing attacks and plots account for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994, and the total number of right-wing attacks and plots has grown significantly during the past six years. Right-wing extremists perpetrated two thirds of the attacks and plots in the United States in 2019 and over 90 percent between January 1 and May 8, 2020.
