Amid Afghan Refugee Influx, DC Govt Warns of Dangers of Online Extremism
[Free Beacon] One anonymous 4Chan user suggested Afghan refugees might vote for Democrats.

Refugees fleeing the Biden-induced human rights catastrophe in Afghanistan are streaming into Washington, D.C., and flowing into the area's hospitals amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In response, the district's emergency management agency has issued a stern warning about the threat of online extremism.

The District of Columbia's Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency warned law enforcement officials earlier this week that "extremist rhetoric has risen online following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan." According to an intelligence assessment obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, the agency assessed that "the increase in extremist rhetoric may presage targeted violence against Afghan refugees." The evidence cited to support that assessment, however, was rather scant—just a handful of examples from "known online forums," such as 4Chan, Free Republic, BitChute, and the official QAnon Telegram channel.

#1 The evidence cited to support that assessment, however, was rather scant

Evidence claiming Ashli Babbitt was a dangerous DC insurrectionist remain rather scant as well.

#2 She wasn't wearing a mask and she was a Trump supporter. For some, that's all the evidence necessary, you know.

#3 "extremist rhetoric has risen online following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan." Such as "F U Joe Biden?" That kind of extremist rhetoric?

#6 The Biden admin had the IC establish specific teams to monitor online extremism before his address. They knew the response they would get and they're going to weaponize that as well. By all accounts, all we are seeing has been planned out well in advance. They look/act like they have no plan. Don't be fooled - all has been planned.
