There haven’t been left-wing terrorists in the US since the Weather Underground. (Who were so ineffectual most of them blew themselves up and we let the rest become obscure college professors.)

If you think there’s been any in the last few decades you should turn off your TV since it’s lying to you.

Do you believe there have been any right wing terrorists in the US in the last few decades?

Interpreting "last few decades" as within the last 30 years, Timothy McVeigh and Eric Rudolph make the cut.

- 1995 Murrah Federal Building in OK

- 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing

Post 2001, Wikipedia has quite a list.

I could see arguing some of these are crimes committed by right-wing groups as opposed to terrorist acts, but others clearly are terrorism.
