King hearings reminiscent of McCarthy and HUAC

Peter King claimed that there has not been a single terror-related case related to the radical right in recent years. But just the day before yesterday, white supremacist Kevin Harpham was arrested and charged in connection with the attempted mass murder, with an IED, of Martin Luther King Day marchers in Spokane, Washington, His knapsack bomb was packed not only with shrapnel but also with rat poison (to prevent coagulation of victims’ blood); it was designed to kill as many people as possible.
