Remember these articles from back in June?

Did we see this exposed on the nightly news broadcasts?

*A white supremacist channel on Telegram encouraged its followers to spark violence to start a race war in the aftermath of the police killing of George Floyd, Politico reported, citing an internal Department of Homeland Security memo.

*Citing the FBI, the note said that two days after Floyd's death, the channel "incited followers to engage in violence and start the 'boogaloo' — a term used by some violent extremists to refer to the start of a second Civil War — by shooting in a crowd."

*One of the messages in the channel called for potential shooters to "frame the crowd around you" for the violence, the note said, according to Politico.

*Other media outlets have also reported on white supremacist groups weaponizing protests against police brutality to incite violence.

*Meanwhile, several Republican officials, including President Donald Trump, have blamed "antifa" for the violence and some have suggested protesters should be hunted down like terrorists.
