He said the DHS now has “hard analysis” linking violence to narratives about government’s response to COVID-19, the 2020 election, immigration, and race.

“We have tied those narratives specifically to the overwhelming majority of domestic violent extremism incidents,” he said.

When you always classify incidents involving conservatives as violent extremism incidents and never do so when leftists commit violence, of course that's the result you'll get. Not to mention that I'd bet "immigration" and "race" here include Muslim extremism as well.
