He also stressed that far-left group Antifa is as big of a threat to the country as white supremacy movements.<\/p>\n<p>Grassley noted, leftist organizations have targeted property among other violent acts. He urged the FBI to fully combat extremism and domestic terror regardless of where it comes from.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt can\u2019t be that the FBI needs a fully funded art theft program, but can\u2019t afford to fight both right wing and left wing extremism,\u201d he stated. \u201cWe must examine the issue of domestic terrorism broadly, very broadly, to include all forms of political extremism, domestic terrorism\u2026wherever it falls on the political spectrum.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WATCH: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChuckGrassley?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ChuckGrassley<\/a>\u2019s opening statement at this morning\u2019s Senate Judiciary Committee <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FBI?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@FBI<\/a> oversight hearing.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HR26gX1Zgs\">https:\/\/t.co\/HR26gX1Zgs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sen.
