Trying to repair a self-inflicted and perhaps fatal wound to a possible 2018 US Senate bid after alleging a near-absence of white-inspired terrorism - - which produced the predictable, fact-based media backlash - - Wisconsin GOP and Captain Oblivious Sean Duffy, (R-Wausau)
issued a clarification, but is still minimizing the extent of white-inspired and domestic terrorism:
Duffy is right about one thing: white extremists are already here. A lot of them.
So is Duffy going to tell us how he proposes to deal with known Nazi groups and other hate organizations identified in Wisconsin on this map among nearly 900 operating in the US, according to the experts on this subject - - the Southern Poverty Law Center.
And here's more recommended reading for the Congressman - - this Newsweek piece from a year ago which undermines Duffy's 'clarification.'

The first distinction is that the travel ban aims to prevent ISIS operatives from entering the United States, whereas white extremists are already here, Duffy said.
