However, if that same American citizen swears allegiance to a white supremacist group based overseas and spreads their message of terror, the Federal Government does not have access to those same tools.

I know we all take seriously the need to combat white nationalist terrorism, and I hope that our discussion today will help inform future efforts to meet this growing global challenge.

Thank you, Chairman Rose.

It is the mainstreaming of racism and the mainstreaming of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia and xenophobia.

is it too much to ask that that language just never be accepted?
