7:32Now PlayingThe Trump Administration appears to be burying its head in the sand regarding white nationalist/right wing terrorism. Smart. Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The Trump administration is pushing to reshape a government program aimed at combating extremist ideologies to focus solely to countering Islamist extremists, Reuters reports.
Under the administration’s plan, the “Countering Violent Extremism” program, which is intended to counter all types of violent ideologies, including white supremacy, would become “Countering Islamic Extremism" or "Countering Radical Islamic Extremism," five people briefed on the matter told Reuters.
The program currently uses measures such as social media campaigns and community partnerships to counter extremism in U.S. communities. It is not part of a separate military effort to counter extremists online.
Some Republican lawmakers have criticized the program as ineffective, and Trump has long promised to get tough on "radical Islamic terror."
But critics of Trump's rhetoric say it will only foster more anti-U.S. sentiment and extremism and give terror organizations recruiting tools.
