Video of President Joe Biden’s often-repeated claim that white supremacy is a greater threat than either ISIS or Al-Qaeda has gone viral, in light of Wednesday’s deadly attack on pedestrians in New Orleans by a suspect displaying an ISIS flag in his vehicle.

Posting a flashback video on social media, Journalist Nick Sortor blamed the attack on the Biden Administration’s downplaying of the Islamist terror threat:

“PRESIDENT BIDEN FLASHBACK: ‘Terrorısm from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today—not ISIS, not Al-Qaeda, white supremacists.’ An ISIS terrorıst just carried out one of the LARGEST TERR0R ATTACKS in the U.S. since 9/11. THIS IS ON YOU, @POTUS.”

The video is a clip from Biden’s speech in Tulsa, Oklahoma on June 1, 2021, in which the president reiterated a claim he had made to Congress:

“As I said in my address to the joint session of Congress: According to the intelligence community, terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today.  Not ISIS, not al Qaeda — white supremacists.”

“I say this wherever I go,” Biden revealed in a May 13, 2023 speech at Howard University, Politico reported at the time:

“President Joe Biden denounced white supremacy as the ‘most dangerous terrorist threat’ to the nation in his commencement address to Howard University’s graduating class Saturday.

“‘White supremacy … is the single most dangerous terrorist threat in our homeland,’ Biden said. ‘And I’m not just saying this because I’m at a Black HBCU. I say this wherever I go.’”

The Biden Administration's counter-terrorism priorities also raised eyebrows in 2023, when a leaked FBI memo revealed that the FBI was targeting ”traditionalist Catholics” who attend the Latin mass because it considered them to be a significant terror threat.
