Far-right extremists have been targeting and killing law enforcement, not to mention members of the general public, for generations, German explained, and in fact, the government’s own documents show that those ideas were percolating in extremist corners of the right at the same time that Trump and U.S. Attorney General William Barr were preparing to crack down on the left.

Of course.

They already believes this narrative before this "proof" even came out.

They literally were saying this as 100's of videos were coming out of black people attacking white people.

I felt like I was watching history being rewritten as it was occurring.

It brings new meaning to when they say " We are the right side of history" because they are the ones who write the narrative.
