The ADL's latest annual report claims that right-wing extremists have been connected to all identified extremist-related killings 2022-2024.
Sunday, at the memorial for Charlie Kirk - murdered by a leftist

Kimmel's temporary suspension. Not everyone agrees. The Anti-Defamation
League (ADL) countered with its latest annual report, claiming, "This
is the third year in a row that right-wing extremists have been connected to
all identified extremist-related

there were 34 so-called "right-wing extremist" murderers, with 23 of
them (68 percent) white supremacists. They say their attacks took 61 lives. Of course, those 61 deaths make up only a tiny
fraction of the 58,781 murders the FBI recorded over the same three years.
