Home Is Where The Hate Is
An early high-water mark of Donald Trumps presidency came Feb. 28, with his first address to Congress. Midway through the speech, the new president turned to national security: We are also taking strong measures to protect our nation from and here he paused for emphasis radical Islamic terrorism.
Those words got him a standing ovation. A week later, he unveiled his second executive order banning entry for people from several Muslim-majority nations.
Trump frequently had excoriated his predecessor, President Barack Obama, and his chief political opponent, Hillary Clinton, as naive, even gutless, for preferring violent extremism to describe the nature of the global and domestic terrorist threat.
Anyone who cannot name our enemy is not fit to lead this country, Trump said at one campaign speech in Ohio. During another, in Philadelphia, he drove home the attack: We now have an administration and a former secretary of state who refuse to say radical Islamic terrorism.
It was a strange place to make his point. The only Islamist terror attack in Pennsylvania over the past 15 years was committed by Edward Archer, a mentally ill man who shot and injured a police officer in early 2016, later telling investigators that he pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. Far-right episodes of violent extremism were far more common.
Just two years before Trumps Pennsylvania speech, anti-government radical Eric Matthew Frein ambushed two police officers in the township of Blooming Grove, killing one and wounding another, then led law enforcement authorities on a 48-day manhunt in the woods. (He was sentenced to death in April.)
