Americans who opposed the Biden regime’s COVID mandates were designated “domestic violent extremists,” according to documents declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
On Friday, Director Gabbard spoke to Fox News about the documents.
“When you look at the language of these documents that I’ve declassified, first, the strategic implementation plan of the Biden administration’s designation of potential violent domestic extremists,” Gabbard explained.
“It really talks about people who may likely turn out to be domestic violent extremists or those who may turn to violence because of these specific ‘ideologies’ that they hold. And there’s a consistent thread through here that these ideologies that they are characterizing as potentially turning into potentially violent activities happen to be people who were using their First Amendment rights to oppose certain policies of the Biden Administration.”
She continued: “Some of the examples that are focused on here have to do with those who oppose the COVID vaccine mandates, those who oppose the mask mandates, and parents who were concerned that their children going to school may be forcibly vaccinated with the COVID vaccine without the consent or awareness of parents.”
The classification was intended to allow the FBI and other government agencies to open “assessments” into individuals who opposed the government’s COVID policies, as the first step towards a formal investigation.
The classification also provided a means for the government to pressure Big Tech and social-media companies to censor content.
