Biden calls Chattanooga killer "perverted jihadist"

What can I say, Crazy Uncle Joe got one right. It was bound to happen.

From CBS News:
Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday called the slaying of four Marines and a sailor at a Chattanooga reserve center the act of a "perverted jihadist."

Biden's comments came at a memorial to the five servicemen killed in a shooting rampage by 24-year-old homegrown violent extremist.

"These perverse ideologues, warped theocrats, they may be able to inspire a single lone wolf to commit a savage act, but they can never, never threaten who we are," Biden said. "When this perverted jihadist struck, everyone responded."

The vice president's strong words contrast with the official comments of investigators who have not yet been able to determine a motive behind the attack. The FBI has said it has not been able to determine whether Abdulazeez was "radicalized" before the July 16 attacks and has been treating him as a homegrown violent extremist.
And all this time I thought that "violent extremist" was an Obama administration euphemism for jihadist. I'm so confused.
