Ah, yes, the old "don't do _that_, then the Republicans will do it too" -- as if this administration has been in any way constrained by the limits of any previous administration.

I'd ask for a citation of what Biden/Biden's admin actually did, but the Trump folks have been so busy disappearing things that the policy that I think you're referring to is now gone from the WhiteHouse.gov site and doesn't seem to be available via Internet Archive either.

Once again, in harmony, and louder for the people in the back: the both-sidesism is utterly misguided, plays into the Trump camp's hands, and just entirely fails to recognize just how not-normal and dangerous things are right now and they are just getting worse by the day.

I spoke too soon, I think that IA is having some intermittent problems, but I was finally able to get to Biden's "National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrororism" here:

At least in the broad-strokes PDF I see no mention of "radical Christian" anything. If there's some citation, I'd be curious to see it if it can still be found and if it mentions specific groups.

So. What you called “Biden’s push” is, in fact, an internal FBI memo from one field office that it’s unlikely Biden even heard of, much less read or endorsed? Misrepresent much?
