I am not sure what to call this

I am at a loss for words. Is this cognitive dissonance? Hypocrisy? I am not sure what to call it:

 FBI Director Chris Wray told lawmakers Thursday that antifa is an ideology, not an organization... “It’s not a group or an organization. It’s a movement or an ideology.”

Yet, they claim that white supremacists are the largest threat to US security. 

I don't understand how Antifa is just an ideology, while white supremacy is an organization that threatens US security. Is US Federal Law enforcement claiming that the white supremacists have forged themselves into some sort of nationwide organization, while Antifa isn't organized?

Well, Antifa/BLM is a white supremacists organization so it's technically correct.

Very true...

The biggest danger from White Supremacists (and TO them, for that matter) is the crime they are involved in. One way that they have made up for smaller numbers than Blacks and to a lesser degree Hispanics, especially in prison, is to be much more violent and in many cases better at the violence as well, using quantity to offset quality.

But in the current conditions, the bogeyman of White Supremacy is WAY overblown. I've talked to Liberals who think the KKK has a million members and kills hundreds of people a year when in reality they are at most a couple thousand people who haven't done anything more violent than a bar brawl in decades. The Aryan Brotherhood and similar groups, are a VERY different story...
