All 26 House Oversight Republicans refuse to sign statement denouncing white supremacy

We the People can’t wait for The Department of Justice or the History Department to catch up with what’s going on in reality. The good ol’ Red GOP is the reincarnation of Dixie. We need to call them out for what they are: NAZIs.



All 26 House Oversight Republicans refuse to sign statement denouncing white supremacy

by David Badash
The New Civil Rights Movement, March 08, 2023

All 26 Republicans on the powerful House Oversight Committee have refused to sign a simple, two-sentence statement denouncing white supremacy.

"We, Members of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, together denounce white nationalism and white supremacy in all its forms, including the 'Great Replacement' conspiracy theory. These hateful and dangerous ideologies have no place in the work of the United States Congress or our Committee," the statement from Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD)…reads.

It comes after several Oversight Committee Republicans "invoked dangerous and conspiratorial rhetoric echoing the racist and nativist tropes peddled by white supremacists and right-wing extremists," during a February hearing on the "border crisis," Ranking Member Raskin said in a March 5 letter to Committee Chair James Comer…The Washington Post first reported on Raskin’s letter.

"In particular, some Members repeatedly described the number of migrants arriving at the border as an 'invasion,' and even went so far as to falsely accuse the Biden-Harris Administration of implementing a plan 'to deliberately open our border' for purposes of 'changing our culture'—mirroring language often used by MAGA extremists who believe that pro-immigration policies are designed to replace white populations with non-white immigrants and other racial minorities," Raskin's letter says.

Seems our nation’s defeated enemies have risen from the ashes. I wonder where they found the money?

The othala rune design was absent this year.

They probably thought it was a fun inside joke, and no one else would notice.

Well played, sir. Well played.



Rest assured, at every opportunity, Raskin will enter this vote into the record for all of history. He will bring this up on the floor. Mark my words.

They fucked themselves.
