The Department of Homeland Security had a bleak message for America ahead of one of the country’s most consistently unifying events. Despite the department’s warnings that violent, vengeful Trump supporting mobs might descend upon the Super Bowl, the event went off without any “right wing extremism.”
The only “violence” was the damage inflicted by Tom Brady and the Buccaneers against the hapless Chiefs.
“At this time, one particular area of concern is domestic violent extremism. While there is no specific or credible threat to Super Bowl LV, it is a high-profile event and security preparations are designed accordingly,” acting Deputy DHS Secretary David Pekoske said at a Wednesday news conference.
