Candace Owens says she became a conservative "when I became educated about the issues and stopped reacting emotionally..." She then listed "fake" narratives in mentioning the "myth" of police brutality in 2016.

Why is @RealCandaceO talking about abortion at a hearing about hate?

"They will look at the genetic inferiority of people that are not white.. they will demonize refugees & immigrants... they will say the Jews are doing this..." Eileen Hershenov of @ADL on white nationalists

"In the last 10 years, about 23% of the extremist murders domestically... were by radical interpretations of Islam. What we are seeing in the last 3 years is a resurgence where most of the crimes are from right wing extremists." -Eileen Hershenov of the @ADL

"There are not many cases in the US recently <of radical Islamic terrorism>. The bully platform has to be used to call out where we are seeing extremism." - Eileen Hershenov of the @ADL

.@replouiegohmert just brought up his "friends" @DiamondandSilk and asked why they are targeted by the platforms (?) to FB's Neil Potts. What the hell is happening?

Mort Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America defended Trump's "very fine people" comment about neo-Nazis. He also incorrectly stated that the media misquoted Trump and that Trump denounced neo-Nazis after that comment. That is simply not true.

"I think there is blame on both sides. You look at, you look at both sides. I think there’s blame on both sides, and I have no doubt about it, and you don't have any doubt about it either. And, and, and, and if you reported it accurately, you would say." - @realDonaldTrump

It is sad that @RealCandaceO does not recognize the virulent rhetoric of @TPUSA (a non-profit who is in constant violation of their 501c3 tax-exempt status). She is using this committee platform to spread political propaganda & it's a disgrace to the other panelists.

.@RepAndyBiggsAZ: "You never ever see characterizations in a list of witnesses <speaking about @RealCandaceO's bio>. This is seemingly going beyond the bounds of what is the norm... This demonstrates animus..."

How can one tell every word out of @RealCandaceO is bullshit? She just said the president is "trying to bring us all together."

.@ZoaKlein is using his platform at the committee to slander @IlhanMN as an anti-Semite and has just misquoted her to make it appear as such.

How can anyone take this committee hearing seriously? We need more panelists like Eileen Hershenov and Kristen Clarke who use FACTS and STATISTICS in reporting the real threat in rising white nationalism/domestic extremism. Mort Klein and Candace Owens are there as a distraction.

Eileen Hershenov just called out @ZoaKlein who incorrectly stated the New Zealand terrorist was a "left-wing" radical and corrected him in stating he was a right-wing extremist.

.@RepMcClintock is now giving his argument on BOTH SIDES. "Legitimate speech being suppressed on college campuses..." NO IT IS NOT.

What this committee has shown me is that the rise of white nationalism and domestic extremism is going nowhere, as its views are deeply rooted within our nation's representatives.

"It was said that we're fear mongering. And the concern of white nationalism is misplaced or "stupid" (referring to what @RealCandaceO said)... Words have consequences. And we owe the American people better rhetoric." - @RepRichmond

"We cant have 1600 Pennsylvania Ave give harbor and empower people to feel that way." - @RepRichmond on Trump empowering white nationalists and hate groups

.@GReschenthaler just brought up @IlhanMN as an anti-Semite

"There should be consequences to members of Congress who make anti-Semitic remarks. It only emboldens others to continue that." @ZoaKlein talking about @IlhanMN

"When it coms to campuses, where there has been constant verbal violations against Jews. Universities refuse to name these people... expel them... when this happens against blacks or gays they are expelled as they should be." @ZoaKlein on campuses allowing BDS protests

"We should study why is it that one half of the world's Muslims have anti-Semitic views... Imams must step up to the plate to make it clear that the Koran must stop promoting hate." @ZoaKlein

"BDS is an anti-Semitic movement... there are rallies about this demonizing Jewish people & the Jewish state of Israel. We need strong federal laws that American governmental bodies will not do business with companies that do business w/ people associated with BDS..." @ZoaKlein

.@GReschenthaler props up @ZoaKlein with his questioning of BDS and his remarks about @IlhanMN

.@RepCicilline just called out @RealCandaceO and @ZoaKlein for using this committee for political purposes and not discussing the facts on the rise of extremism.

.@RepCicilline just called out Facebook on not removing @FaithGoldy's white nationalist / anti-Semitic video that lived on the platform after they implemented their new policy against white nationalist content.

After being asked that the GOP denounce Trump's hateful rhetoric, @RepGregSteube responded that democrats should call out anti-Semitism from those on the left (referencing @IlhanMN).

"There are two thing we need from our leaders... when you have anti-Muslim bans and anti-refugee bans... this is celebrated and emboldens white supremacists." - Eileen Hershenov of @ADL

Damn. @tedlieu just played @RealCandaceO's statement on Hitler.

"We expressed grave concern over those comments." Eileen Hershenov of the @ADL on @RealCandaceO's Hitler apologist remarks.
