Nicholas, this is no defense of your piece. You blame Trump for somehow inciting leftist riots in leftist cities in leftist states inspired by a wholly false leftist narrative about police violence spread by leftist venues like your own paper. https://twitter.com/NickKristof/status/1300075250235957249

You attack Giuliani, who legitimately broke the back of a decades-long crime wave while your paper falsely called him racist every day. And...

...the study you cite of 890-some terrorist plots & attacks over 26 years is vastly slanted in its categorizations, including every racist crank under the right-wing rubric, but not for instance, including attacks on police inspired by Barack Obama's rhetoric. Finally...

...I and most right wing pols & pundits despise violent far-right cranks, whereas the Democrat party and our now almost wholly corrupt media have been giving cover to these BLM and antifas thugs and their "mostly peaceful" violence for months. Portland et al is Democrat America.
