POLITICS H.R. McMaster classifies Charlottesville riots as 'terrorism

BEDMINSTER, N.J. (AP) - President Donald Trump's national security adviser says the violence that broke out in Charlottesville, Virginia, "meets the definition of terrorism."
H.R. McMaster tells ABC's "This Week" that "anytime that you commit an attack against people to incite fear, it is terrorism."
One person died Saturday when a car rammed into a crowd of protesters in Charlottesville as tension boiled over at a white supremacist rally.
McMaster calls it "a criminal act against fellow Americans. A criminal act that may have been motivated - and we'll see what's turned up in this investigation - by this hatred and bigotry, which I mentioned we have to extinguish in our nation."

I think it is terrorism in the most literal sense. No issue with that.
Were the cop killings in Dallas considered terrorism by the Obama administration? I literally don't know so curious if anyone remembers.

"The Establishment" is trying very hard to eliminate the First Amendment, and they will use any event (organic or synthetic) to push for this.

I think HR left off another qualifier for it to be terrorism.
I agree it could have been terrorism but let's not water down the definition of terrorism.
