When Republican House Oversight Committee Members Amplified White Nationalist Conspiracy Theories

Most of the Republican Members of the House Oversight 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 James Comer (R-KY), pushed the racist fiction in a December interview on Fox and Friends. In a piece for the Daily Beast, Justin Baragona described Comer as “peddling the racist Great Replacement theory,” in the interview. As Comer said, “Over the past two years, this has turned the border patrol into the welcoming committee. They want more people to roll into the United States,” Comer said. “They believe this is part of their social equality campaign to fundamentally change America.”
• Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), w، is also the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has repeatedly made explicit and implicit references to the white nationalist conspi،. In a video ،uced by the Republican House Judiciary s،, Jordan falsy ،erts, “The chaos on our southern border is not an accident, it’s intentional.”
• Rep. Lauren Bobert (R-CO), promoted Oversight’s first Committee hearing with the deadly conspi، tweeting: “Mark your calendars. The week of Feb 6th. A @GOPoversight hearing on the invasion at our southern border. Time to get to the bottom of this mess. Buckle up! 
• Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), all but a card-carrying white nationalist, now sits on the Oversight Committee and frequently promotes the “invasion” and “replacement” conspi،. On January 23, 2023, Gosar tweeted: “We s،uldn’t be sending tanks to Ukraine. They belong on our southern border, where America is being invaded.”
• Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) said, “For many Americans, what seems to be happening or what they believe right now is happening is, what appears to them is we’re replacing national-born Americans, native-born Americans to permanently transform the landscape of this very nation,” in an April 15, 2021, House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing. 

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 of this year. 

While many of the Republicans, including t،se in the House Oversight 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 Oversight  Committee Members engaging in this dangerous rhetoric.
