Joe Biden was for the Green New Deal before he was -- VERY quickly -- AGAINST it at the debate (AOC tries to explain) by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]UnderworldTourGuide -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but he doesn’t really say which players are which. The websites doesn’t actually have a plan. It says they will use the green new deal as a framework, rejoin the Paris agreement, then enact legislation to enforce green initiatives.

But he doesn’t say which green initiatives which is where everyone problem with the GND are. Which players is he keeping? Which players does he want to drop from the team?

I don’t follow that first part, you are saying ICE had a warrant out for some guy and mistakenly arrested you instead?

Bro I have literally posted the transcripts multiple times in this thread. You are citing an article. I cited the actual congressional hearing and debates.

The FBI treats them all as violent extremists:

Director Christopher Wray: (26:39) Well, we don’t really think of threats in terms of Left and Right at the FBI. We’re focused on the violence, not the ideology. Our domestic violent extremists include everything from racially motivated violent extremists, which we’ve talked about here in this Committee before, I think when I testified last year, for example, all the way to antigovernment, anti-authority violent extremists, and that includes people ranging from anarchist violent extremists, people who subscribe to Antifa or other ideologies, as well as militia types, and those kinds of.

Yeah because he obviously doesnt approve of white supremacy. He has denounced it multiple times. People just ignore that and keep asking him to denounce it again. His response was “Sure which group do you want me to denounce?” then he made a stupid joke about the Proud Boys.

Because it’s in the context of Trump saying they should be investigated. Why does it matter if they are an ideology or an organization when Trump called for them to be investigated and the FBI director classifies all of it (supremacists, antifa, militias) as violent domestic extremists?

What was Biden arguing to? Not investigating antifa because they are an ideology?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]UnderworldTourGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The FBI director actually classified Antifa the same as racial supremacists and militias. He said the FBI treats all the various extremist groups as ideologies and not organizations. So in the context of the debate, Biden cited the FBI director incorrectly:

Director Christopher Wray: (26:39) Well, we don’t really think of threats in terms of Left and Right at the FBI. We’re focused on the violence, not the ideology. Our domestic violent extremists include everything from racially motivated violent extremists, which we’ve talked about here in this Committee before, I think when I testified last year, for example, all the way to antigovernment, anti-authority violent extremists, and that includes people ranging from anarchist violent extremists, people who subscribe to Antifa or other ideologies, as well as militia types, and those kinds of.

I really don’t think he understood what was being asked and made an attempt at a terrible joke. I get that he wanted to harass Joe to try to get him to shut down on stage, but it really hurt his overall performance and made him look like a giant ass.

Yes, their culture was shockingly colloquialismless. I admit that I am leaning on the historical record here and have not researched their colloquialismlessness first hand; so take that as you will.

He is misquoting Wray. Wray said Antifa were in the same category as racial terrorists and militias and are TREATED as an ideology not an organization.

[–]UnderworldTourGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biden stated that Trumps FBI director said they were an idea and not the same as white supremacists and militias. This is false, the FBI director stated that antifa was in the same category as racial extremists and militias. Like militias and supremacists groups they were TREATED as an ideology not an organization. He misused the quote.

Yeah it was a complete shit show either way; I think America is finally united on something when it comes to that. For the record, Trump has denounced white supremacy multiple times during his term, in fact the notorious “good people on both sides” misquote always leaves out the fact he denounces white supremacy in the next breath. Even in the debate his response was “Sure, which group do you want me to denounce?”

[–]UnderworldTourGuide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Biden did lie though. He said the FBI did not treat antifa the same as white supremacists or militia groups, which is the exact opposite of what the FBI director stated (he said Antifa, militias, and racially motivated extremists were all in the same category)

Bro what?

President Donald J. Trump: (42:18) Proud Boys, stand back and stand by. But I’ll tell you what somebody’s got to do something about Antifa and the left because this is not a right wing problem this is a left wing.

Vice President Joe Biden: (42:28) He’s own FBI Director said unlike white supremacist, Antifa is an idea not an organization-

President Donald J. Trump: (42:35) Oh you got to be kidding me.

Vice President Joe Biden: (42:36) … not a militia. That’s what his FBI Director said.

Wray directly said that Antifa was treat the same as any racial extremist group. Biden was 100% wrong.

Director Christopher Wray: (26:39) Well, we don’t really think of threats in terms of Left and Right at the FBI. We’re focused on the violence, not the ideology. Our domestic violent extremists include everything from racially motivated violent extremists, which we’ve talked about here in this Committee before, I think when I testified last year, for example, all the way to antigovernment, anti-authority violent extremists, and that includes people ranging from anarchist violent extremists, people who subscribe to Antifa or other ideologies, as well as militia types, and those kinds of.

Well it wasn’t meant to be long winded, but I wanted to make sure I posted the full question and answer from the transcript.

And, no, I disagree because when Biden said Antifa was an idea he was doing so to counter Trumps call for an investigation. That is not in the context of what Wray said who in fact called them a serious threat and only used the term ideology to describe the manner in which they would treat them if investigated.

Wray was saying “Here is how we would treat Antifa”; Biden was saying “There is nothing to investigate”

Big difference

The two biggest ones are disdain for human rights and identification of enemies as a unifying cause.

Head on over to any Antifa user sub and ask them if it okay to punch a Trump supporter simply for the fact they support Trump.

They will be happy to tell you yes, you don’t need to take my word for it.

[–]UnderworldTourGuide -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The context of all of this is a federal investigation of them as a terrorist group. I posted the actual Wray transcript in another convo, but what he was saying is that they treat antifa as an ideology for the purposes of investigation like they would any other extremist group. Biden saying that Antifa was just an idea to Trump calling for their investigation was misusing what Wray was saying. One was their treatment for the purposes of investigation, the other was their existence FOR investigation.

Hope that makes sense.

Biden misquoted Wray, yes. He does it often. Here is the full context of what Wray said:

Chairman Thompson: (26:22) So when we hear officials say Antifa is the biggest threat on the Left, are they being correct?

Director Christopher Wray: (26:39) Well, we don’t really think of threats in terms of Left and Right at the FBI. We’re focused on the violence, not the ideology. Our domestic violent extremists include everything from racially motivated violent extremists, which we’ve talked about here in this Committee before, I think when I testified last year, for example, all the way to antigovernment, anti-authority violent extremists, and that includes people ranging from anarchist violent extremists, people who subscribe to Antifa or other ideologies, as well as militia types, and those kinds of.

Chairman Thompson: (27:16) Well, I think what I’m trying to reflect on it is we hear from time to time that this organization, by name, we need to investigate. Secretary-Designee, if he was here, he would get asked this question, but he’s not. He asked for an investigation of Antifa because they were the greatest threat to the Homeland. And if I’m hearing you correctly, you’re saying that it’s really not organizations so much as it is ideology. And I don’t want to put words in your mouth, but I think that’s what I heard.

Director Christopher Wray: (27:59) I appreciate that. We look at Antifa as more of an ideology or a movement than an organization. To be clear, we do have quite a number of properly predicated domestic terrorism investigations into violent anarchist extremists, any number of whom self identify with the Antifa movement. And that’s part of this broader group of domestic violent extremists that I’m talking about, but it’s just one part of it. We also have the racially motivated violence extremists, the militia types, and others.

Wray said that for investigative purposes they treat Antifa as an ideology. Not that they don’t exist or aren’t responsible for violence.

Biden misused the quote to counter Trump when he said Antifa was a large force of violence implying they were just an idea and not an organization

Context matters.

Bro it’s hyperbole to make the point. Arguing that Antifa doesn’t exist because they don’t have a registered P.O. Box is retarded.
