on becoming co-chairs of the House Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism.
We look forward to continuining working with you in the critical fight against antisemitism and Holocaust denial.
A special report of the American Jewish Congress shows that the violence and riots in our nation’s capital were rooted in neo-Nazism, white supremacy and the QAnon conspiracy movement.
Read the full report and its shocking findings 👇
We are not going to mince words: Gab is a platform populated with Holocaust denying white supremacists and neo-Nazis.
Marjorie Taylor Greene fundraises off of it regularly.
We wear Gab founder Andrew Torba’s recent attacks on us with a badge of honor.
You can never compare health-related restrictions with yellow stars, gas chambers & other Nazi atrocities.
Such comparisons demean the Holocaust & contaminate American political speech.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene must immediately retract and apologize.
Donald Trump encouraged his supporters to protest Congress. Today's anarchy is the result. We want stable democracy.
The Cabinet should consider applying the 25th amendment to immediately remove Trump from office to end this incitement against our democracy.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is using a white supremacist, antisemitic platform to build an extremist political base.
Her fundraising haul demonstrates that it has financial power behind it & she's building influence.
This is a warning shot for our democracy.
