Florida has an 'extensive' network of White supremacists and other far-right extremists, ADL report [View all]

A new Anti-Defamation League report has found an “extensive” network of White supremacists and other far-right extremists in Florida, which the organization says is home to the most people charged in the January 6 insurrection.

“Florida is home to an extensive, interconnected network of white supremacists and other far-right extremists,” the Anti-Defamation League says in the report, warning that new groups have surfaced in the state in recent years while existing groups “have broadened their audience both online and on the ground.”

The anti-hate group’s findings are documented in a new report titled “Hate in the Sunshine State: Extremism & Antisemitism in Florida, 2020-2022.”

Citing data from the George Washington University Program on Extremism, the report says Florida is home to the most people charged in connection with the January 6 insurrection.
