I want to talk about 2021. Tell me about Black terrorist organizations.

Given this history, it is not a leap to recognize the need for scrutiny of FBI activities in Black and African American communities.

I very much want to see laws against domestic terrorism, but I will tell you that I am concerned about, if we pass laws against domestic terrorism, that those laws will be turned against the very communities that have been terrorized.

Let me stipulate for the record that every person in this room, but at least all the Democrats, abhor violence...

Congress must pass H.R. 40 and reckon and account for our history. Reparations are owed, transformation is required.

Finally, Congress must pass H.R. 40 to study the efficacy of reparations to African Americans.

Congress must pass legislation and appropriations to enhance the federal response to hate crimes.

Congress must identify ways to address and dismantle White supremacy in law enforcement.

Congress must pass the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, without any poison pill amendments.

Does that give these White supremacist groups more license to go do their violent acts?

Stop with the false equivalences. There is one group, or groups, it is White supremacist ideology that is causing the major problems across America.

The former President was wrong then, he is wrong now.

It is that same big lie that results in National Guard troops still being deployed outside our Capitol in body armor.

We have the ability now to recess very briefly for the last two votes.

I am going to introduce into the record, without objection, Daily Beast article 'Capitol Police Officer: Trumpist Rioters Called Me the N-Word Dozens of Times.'

I ask all the Members of the Subcommittee to join me today in denouncing domestic terrorism, including White supremacy, in all forms.

As the FBI director said unequivocally, White supremacists are the most lethal threat for domestic violence in our country.

There are no both sides in this debate.

Over the last ten years, 75 percent of all murders have--resulting from domestic terrorism have been the result of right-wing extremists.

I introduced H.R. 936, delivering COVID-19 vaccinations to all regions in vulnerable communities...

The failure in the administration not having a testing protocol provided for the surge in COVID-positive cases.

We are not ending, we are beginning.

Texas remains a hot spot in the landscape of COVID-19 cases.
