FBI tapes revealed that two members of the white supremacist group “The Base” were intent on orchestrating terror attacks at a pro-gun rally in Virginia, according to a report by ABC News, which obtained the newly released tapes.
Former Canadian Army reservist Patrik Mathews and Brian Lemley reportedly discussed killing Black people and law enforcement in addition to destroying critical infrastructure during an FBI recording of the two in Delaware in 2019.
The efforts were expected to amount to bringing down the U.S. government and creating a racial civil war, according to the network.
“We need to go back to the days of … decimating Blacks and getting rid of them where they stand,” Mathews said in one recording, according to the network. “If you see a bunch of Blacks sitting on some corner you f***ing shoot them.”
