Another section states that Trump had encouraged violence or lawless action through various statements, including one in which he had “threatened to deploy ‘the Military’ to Minneapolis to shoot ‘looters’ amid protests over the police killing of George Floyd.”

The district court credits the testimony of Chapman University professor of sociology Peter Simi, who they cite as a qualified “expert in political extremism, including how extremists communicate, and how the events leading up to and including the January 6 attack relate to longstanding patterns of behavior and communication by political extremists.”

A brief look at Simi’s faculty profile for Chapman University reveals that he has a political agenda in his research, with much of his focus on “white supremacists.” Other reports from Simi include “An Essay: Understanding the Threat of Right-Wing Extremism,” “Pathways to Violent Extremism: A Qualitative Comparative Analysis of the US Far-Right” and “Far Right Terrorism in the United States.” Simi’s profile mentions “left-wing” extremism in only one instance, and only when comparing it with extremism of the right-wing.
