(CNN) White supremacist extremists will remain the deadliest domestic terror threat to the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security's first annual homeland threat assessment , which details a range of threats from election interference to unprecedented storms. "However, I am particularly concerned about white supremacist violent extremists who have been exceptionally lethal in their abhorrent, targeted attacks in recent years." White supremacy was at the forefront of the first presidential debate last week, when President Donald Trump declined to condemn White supremacists. Days later, he condemned "all White supremacists," telling Fox News' Sean Hannity, "I condemn the KKK, I condemn all White supremacists, I condemn the Proud Boys." The final threat assessment concludes: White supremacist extremists "will remain the most persistent and lethal threat in the Homeland."
