Here's Right Wing Watch:

Troy Newman, the head of Operation Rescue and a driving force behind last year’s series of videos smearing Planned Parenthood, writes today that although Donald Trump “has said and done many things that most Christians would find despicable,” he will vote for him — although not formally endorse him — in the presidential election.

So, Newman's group, Operation Rescue, is an extremist organization with confirmed links to domestic terrorism. In 2009, when antichoice terrorist Scott Roeder murdered abortion provider Dr. George Tiller in Tiller's place of worship, Operation Rescue condemned the attack in public, but the phone number of the group's "senior policy advisor," Cheryl Sullenger, was found in Roeder's car, and though Sullenger said at first she'd had no contact with Roeder, it later came out that Sullenger had told Roeder where he could find Tiller. This isn't surprising given that, oh yeah, Sullenger is herself a convicted terrorist. In 1988, she was arrested for trying to bomb an abortion clinic—a plan that thankfully failed when the bomb didn't go off.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Anti-abortion violence is not "like" domestic terrorism. Per FBI terminology, it is the definition of it.

Donald Trump has said all kinds of garbage things about how a Trump administration would put terrorists in their place—his response to the recent attack on Turkey's largest airport was to call for more torture—and at the root of these statements, there appears to be some profound confusion on his part about what terrorism actually is. When you've been backed by David Duke and now someone with ties to violent misogyny, any machinations about wanting to reduce terrorism are ultimately meaningless. Legitimizing hate groups isn't how you prevent terrorism. It does the opposite.
