Whole of Society Approach’ to Fighting Political Opponents
District of Columbia | June 17, 2021
Attorney General Merrick Garland called for a “whole of society approach” to fighting domestic terrorism in a speech Tuesday, going along with the administration’s national strategy for stamping out violent extremism.
“We need not only a whole of government approach but a whole of society approach,” Garland said after praising members of the public for submitting more than 100,000 pieces of digital media to help the FBI investigate in the aftermath of January 6.
“We must not only bring our federal resources to bear,” he continued. “We must adopt a broader societal response to tackle the problem’s deeper roots.”
Garland’s speech came hours after the Biden administration unveiled its national strategy for countering domestic terrorism, with officials telling Fox News it’s designed to cut across the political spectrum, while warning that white supremacy and “militia violent extremists” currently present the “most persistent and lethal threats.”..
