Alethea Duncan, the special agent in charge, stated that the FBI does not yet consider the attack a terrorist event, which has provoked criticism for its perceived incoherence on terrorism definitions.
McCarthy criticized the FBI, saying the incident should be immediately labeled terrorist due to its mass-murder nature and patterns resembling prior vehicle-ramming attacks.
McCarthy highlighted a troubling trend where the FBI avoids labeling attacks as terrorism out of concern for how it will be perceived by the Muslim community and political superiors in Washington.
McCarthy expressed exasperation over the FBI's reluctance to call an attack terrorism, noting the discovery of an ISIS flag in the perpetrator's vehicle as a clear indicator.
