Last Thursday, the University of Chicago invited former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe to join a panel of partisans to discuss the Jan. 6 “insurrection.”
McCabe was fired from his position as the deputy FBI director after leaking sensitive information about an investigation into the Clinton Foundation and then lying about it under oath. He also took part in spying on the Trump campaign through a secret warrant granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign funded the dossier he used to obtain the surveillance warrant, which, in an ironic twist, was itself the product of Russian disinformation. McCabe and his allies in corporate media justified all sorts of similar illegal and undemocratic tactics to discredit and attempt to unseat President Trump.

Neither the University of Chicago nor McCabe acknowledged the irony in McCabe discussing the integrity of “democracy” in America on Thursday evening. In fact, what McCabe said at the University of Chicago event on Jan. 6, 2022 is even more shocking than his invitation to speak in the first place. Below are four of the most appalling assertions and policy proposals McCabe made at the public event.

For one, McCabe likened Conservatives to members of the Islamic Caliphate, saying: “I can tell you from my perspective of spending a lot of time focused on the radicalization of international terrorists and Islamic extremist and extremists of all stripes… is that this group shares many of the same characteristics of those groups that we’ve seen radicalized along entirely different ideological lines.”

McCabe went on to describe the rise of the Islamic caliphate in Syria and how Islamic extremists were radicalized across socioeconomic, educational, and racial lines, likening it to the “mass radicalization” of the political Right across demographics.
HOW DEMOCRATS' ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTS ARE TURNING INTO THEIR WORST NIGHTMARE
McCabe went on to declare that parents who stand up for their children’s health and education at school board meetings in ways Democrats disagree with are very dangerous. So dangerous that it is actually “essential” we have a “rapid and complete response by law enforcement at the state, local and federal level to this sort of political violence…”

Holding America’s parents “accountable” is not enough for McCabe. He wants to make sure that federal agencies also put “out that message that this sort of conduct that both horribly victimizes individuals, but also serves to undermine our democratic process” is “considered a threat to national security [that is] not tolerated.”
