Son of Buffalo shooting victim asks Senate: 'Is there nothing that you personally are willing to do to stop the cancer of white supremacy and the domestic terrorism it inspires? Because if there is nothing, then...you should yield your positions.'

"I ask every one of you to imagine the faces of your mothers as you look at mine, and ask yourself, 'Is there nothing that we can do?' Is there nothing that you personally are willing to do to stop the cancer of white supremacy and the domestic terrorism that inspires?" he continued, maintaining his composure but holding back tears.
The hearing, which kicked off at 10 a.m., is titled, "Examining the 'Metastasizing' Domestic Terrorism Threat After the Buffalo Attack" and examines "the continued threat posed by violent white supremacists and other extremists, including those who have embraced the so-called 'Great Replacement' conspiracy theory, as well as the federal government's response to this threat," according to a committee release.
"For her to be taken from us and taken from this world by someone that's just full of hate for no reason … it is very hard for us to handle right now," Garnell said at the time. "We need help. We're asking you to help us, help us change this. This can't keep happening," he added.
"More than 400 episodes of Tucker Carlson's show have amplified the so-called "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory, the guiding principle of modern white supremacist movement," Durbin added. "As lawmakers, we must speak in one voice and repeat repudiating this incendiary rhetoric, along with any individual or extremist group that resorts to violence."
