Bennie Thompson actually said...

"Marking the anniversary of the Buffalo supermarket shooting with a hearing on left-wing extremism displays a shocking lack of sensitivity to the scores of individuals harmed by far-right violence."

"We owe it to communities like Buffalo and Allen to do more than send thoughts and prayers. We need to take meaningful action to make people safer."

"At best, today's hearing is a missed opportunity to conduct meaningful oversight over how the Government is combating the disturbing trend in right-wing violence."

"To be clear, Democrats condemn violence in every form, ideology-motivated or otherwise."
