Biden Vowed to Fight Domestic Terrorism in Prayer Breakfast Speech. What Exactly Did He Mean?

On Thursday, President Joe Biden addressed the National Prayer Breakfast in a brief remote message. While he spoke about the virtues of faith, he did not mention his administration’s attack on religious freedom. He repeated false claims about the supposed “climate crisis.” While he called on Americans to help one another, he also pledged to “confront and defeat” “political extremism, white supremacy, and domestic terrorism.”

Biden mentioned the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, connecting it to “white supremacy” and domestic terrorism.

“We just have to open our eyes. We’ve just witnessed images that we’ve never imagined — images that now we’ll never forget: a violent assault on the U.S. Capitol — an assault on our democracy, on our Capitol, a violent attack that threatened lives and took lives,” Biden said. “We know now we must confront and defeat political extremism, white supremacy, and domestic terrorism.”

This line suggested Biden does intend to go ahead with a Democratic bill to fight domestic terrorism, which even Democrat former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard warned would enable a “KGB-style surveillance state” aimed at conservatives.

Although Biden was correct to condemn the horrific attack on the Capitol, this remark suggested that the threat of the Capitol riot was ongoing. Former President Donald Trump has conceded the election and left the White House, so the “Stop the Steal” movement has arguably disbanded. While some of those who stormed the Capitol may have been racist, Biden’s claim that they represented “white supremacy” is an extreme stretch. “Stop the Steal” focused on Trump and the 2020 election, not supporting “white supremacy.”
