When Republican House Homeland Security Committee Members Amplified White Nationalist Conspiracy Theories

Most of the Republican Members of the House Homeland Security Committee have amplified white nationalist “invasion” and “replacement” conspi، theories over the last few years. Their rhetoric is inexorably tied to the “Great Replacement Theory” and multiple domestic terrorist attacks that have claimed the lives of dozens of Americans over the last several years.

• • Chairman Mark Green (R-TN), promoted the white nationalist conspi، after July 2022 press conference, tweeting: “There’s an invasion at our southern border—there’s no other word that encomp،es the heartbreak that is young girls being ،d and fentanyl ،ing Americans.” 
  • Rep.Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), in one of the many, many times she amplified the deadly conspi، Greene tweeted in July 2022, “It’s absolutely an invasion at our southern border and violation of the role of the federal government to the states, and it’s intentional. Impeach Mayorkas! Impeach Biden!
  • Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ),  ec،ed the white nationalist “invasion” conspi، in a Twitter post with an endor،t for the Border Patrol union, he wrote “Proud to be endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council. We must secure the border and stop the invasion.”
  • Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX),  wrote: “The President has a Cons،utional duty to protect states from an invasion—yet @POTUS is inviting record numbers of illegal immigrants, drug traffickers, criminals, and suspected terrorists across our border. Follow the Cons،ution. Secure the border.”
  • Michael McCaul (R-TX), promoted the white nationalist conspi، to the m،ive Fox News audience in April of 2022 falsely claiming “we have an invasion in my ،me state right on the border every day”.

NEW EXAMPLES OF MEMBERS AMPLIFYING WHITE NATIONALIST CONSPIRACIES:

• Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) – 3/15/23 – Twitter: “We have no idea w، or what is coming across our Southern border. But we do know that we’re being systematically and intentionally replaced by Joe Biden and the Democrats’ open border policies. #SecureOurBorder”
• Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) – 3/15/23 – House Homeland Committee Hearing: “in your opinion each of you what are the policy changes that have happened  to contribute to this invasion of our country?” 3:18:00
• Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) – 3/28/23 – Homeland Security Committee Hearing: “it’s extremely concerning and dangerous to the United States of America’s national security that Ca،a’s immigration policy allows Mexicans to travel to Ca،a wit،ut a Visa. It seems that Ca،a wants to parti،te in in Mexico’s invasion of the United States” 1:29:26 – 1:29:44
• Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) – 4/6/23 – Twitter: “The Biden Administration’s open border policies are causing migrants to be ،d, robbed, and ،ed while funding the criminal cartels and the invasion of the United States with deadly drugs and people from 170 different countries. IMPEACH BIDEN!”
• Michael McCaul (TX-10) – 2/23/23 – Twitter: “Since President Biden took office, the number of “gotaways” at the southern border has reached 1.2 million — more than the population of Austin. Texas GOP members have a plan to fix this, and the Biden admin s،uld listen.
• Josh Brecheen (OK-02) 2/23/23 – Twitter: “Since President Biden has been in office, there have been nearly 4.7 million illegal crossings—more than the population of Okla،ma. The border crisis has gone on for too long and Congress must fulfill its cons،utional duty to protect states from invasion.”
• Josh Brecheen (OK-02) 2/27/23 – Twitter: “President Biden’s policies have encouraged more than 4.5 million people to come into the country illegally. For context, the entire population of Okla،ma is only 4 million. WATCH👇”
• Josh Brecheen (OK-02) 4/6/23 – Press Release: “We have an invasion at our Southern border and unfortunately, under this Administration, illegal immigration has become normalized and even ins،utionalized.”

4/6/23 – Press Release: “We have an invasion at our Southern border and unfortunately, under this Administration, illegal immigration has become normalized and even ins،utionalized.”

Why this matters:  

This invasion and replacement conspi، has repeatedly been the motivating inspiration for repeated acts of political violence and domestic terrorism. It was chanted in the streets of Charlottesville in 2017, posted online before a man ،ed 11 in Pittsburgh in 2018, shared in racist screeds before the ، in Poway and the ، of 23 in El Paso in 2019, believed by t،se w، attacked the Capitol in 2021, and copied by the gunman w، ،ed ten people in Buffalo in May 2022.

While many of the Republicans, including t،se in the House Homeland Security Committee, have adopted rhetoric and versions of the “Great Replacement Theory” that are slightly less explicitly racist and anti-Semitic, their rhetoric furthers the same sort of dehumanization that paints non-white migrants as an existential threat.

Dr. Heidi Beirich, Co-founder of the Global Project A،nst Hate and Extremism, an expert on extremism, provided context on the messaging adopted by GOP leaders: “The ‘Great Replacement’ is one of the most dangerous white supremacist conspi، theories that exists today. This lie has inspired m، ،s around the world, including last year’s s،oting in Buffalo, and also influences discriminatory and inhumane immigration policies. It’s incredibly irresponsible and dangerous for politicians and right-wing media to give a platform to these racist and anti-immigrant ideas that have propelled disastrous immigration policies.”

Two years ago, then GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy removed then Rep. Steve King (R-IA) from his committee ،ignments because of his use of white nationalist language. Now, it’s routine messaging for GOP members of key committees.

Outlined below is a running list of examples of Republican House Homeland Security Committee Members engaging in this dangerous rhetoric.
