Overview

• The New York Post column alleges the ADL relies on indicators like white supremacist tattoos to tag crimes as right-wing without clear political motives.
• The author claims the ADL omitted the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, which he describes as explicitly ideological and left-wing.
• The piece highlights the Global Terrorism Database’s classification of the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooter as an anti-government extremist despite an unclear motive.
• The column situates its critique in the current debate following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and references Rep. Ilhan Omar promoting the ADL’s chart.
