WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said on Sunday that the threat from violent extremist groups remains high after the deadly storming of the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday by supporters of President Donald Trump.

In a statement, Schumer said he had spoken on Saturday with FBI Director Christopher Wray to urge him to "relentlessly pursue" the attackers.

"The threat of violent extremist groups remains high and the next few weeks are critical in our democratic process with the upcoming inauguration at the U.S. Capitol to swear in President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris," Schumer said.

There is a reason that the approval rating for US media has fallen under 20% during the past 4 years. Coincidentally, the approval for congress has not risen above 20% over the past decade. Since the US media has just become a mou.thpiece for the democrats in congress it is no surprise

50% of Americans see the hyporcracy of the dems, what in the world is wrong with the other 50%!!!!!!!!!
Good! Time to take out the trash!
Funny how liberal extremist groups destroyed cities and killed people all over the country all summer and nobody in the government, on the left, had anything to say about it. Now, that's all the left and the media (same group) want to talk about. Such nonsense
Twitter is now operating in silly mode and driving away business.

Where was he and the FBI during the fall riots - burning of police and businesses' buildings, setting up own "Country!"  Nope they continue on Trump the favourite whipping boy! I'm not a Trump fan but I was concern during the "Fall of Discontent" in the USA for sure! And, nothing done about other than then Harris bailing out the perpetrators and those in DC are charge to fullest extent of the law.  There's a civil war coming in USA for sure.

Instead of the democrat's and the republican's coming together they are only trying to destroy each other even more now.burt at the end of the day their all one corrupts corporations. owned by the corporations.
