When Republican House Judiciary Committee Members Amplified White Nationalist Conspiracy Theories

The 5th Speaker nominee, Mike Johnson from Louisiana’s 4th district is not new to white nationalist conspiracy theories and he is no different from the failed extremist Speaker nominee Rep. Jim Jordan. Here are his past remarks of using the dangerous white nationalist “invasion” and “replacement” conspiracy theories.

• Mike Johnson (R-LA-04)
  • 7/26/21 – Fox News Interview: “FOX Business host Dagen McDowell, said “we see what’s going on here, it increases the voting base for the Democrats,” her guest Rep. Mike Johnson (LA-04) responded, “that’s right, we are not conspiracy theorists but that is the only thing that makes sense here.” Johnson continued, “they want to turn these people into voters.”
  • 4/5/22 – Breitbart: “Yet, the Biden Administration is proposing an end to Title 42, which will only make this unprecedented crisis even worse.” “There is no longer any other conclusion: The chaos is intentional.”
  • 4/19/22 – Twitter: “Last month alone, there were over 40,000 more illegal migrants encountered by CBP at our southern border than the entire population of Shreveport (the 3rd largest city in LA). The Biden Administration is intentionally allowing the destruction of our country.
  • 4/21/22 – News Release: “Allowing illegal immigrants to flow freely across our southern border…President Biden’s continued intentional destruction of our country at the expense of our own people must stop. I am proud to lead this effort alongside Representative Arrington and dozens of our colleagues in support of this case to reverse the administration’s purposefully destructive decision.”
  • 4/29/22 – Newsmax: “like an intentional strategy…we believe this is an intentional effort to flood our country with illegals, and it is a dangerous situation”.
  • 4/29/22 – Hearing with DHS Secretary Mayorkas: “…because of your deliberate and defiant policies … we have a literal invasion of lawless masses flooding over our border from more than 160 countries … innocent children, sir, are being abducted, assaulted, raped and murdered by human traffickers. Countless numbers of known terrorits and vicious gang members are clearly coming across our border and making their way into our communities all over the country … our entire country is becoming a crime scene.”
  • 5/12/22 – Twitter: “HERE’S THE ANSWER for all who have asked why in the world the Democrats would intentionally open our borders: Late last night I got them to admit the goal is to TURN ILLEGALS INTO VOTERS!”
  • 10/25/22 – Twitter: “The current population of Louisiana is approx. 4.52 MILLION people. Joe Biden and Washington Democrats have happily allowed >4.9 MILLION illegals from 160 countries to cross into our country in the past 2 years! Think about that. And then VOTE like the rule of law depends on it!”
  •  2/1/23 – “The Biden Border Crisis I” Judiciary Committee Hearing – “Administration has been reversing the vast majority of the Trump administration’s successful border enforcement policies and they are systematically they are intentionally secretary Mayorkas and and his uh his administration they’re dismantling immigration enforcement they are encouraging illegal immigration” 58:06-58:26
  • 2/2/23 – Twitter: “The Biden Administration has RELEASED 1.7 million illegal aliens into American communities. The catastrophe is INTENTIONAL. And our Democrat colleagues refuse to acknowledge the undeniable facts that everyone can plainly see.”
  • 3/29/23 – Twitter: “Mayorkas LIED repeatedly to the Senate Judiciary Comm yesterday. I called for his impeachment last year & summarized here why his INTENTIONAL acts will destroy our country if he isn’t stopped. Dems continue to protect & empower this carnage. God help us.”
  • 5/11/23 – Twitter: “**The chaos at our open border is the INTENTIONAL outcome created by Biden & Mayorkas.** I coauthored the House Republican bill we are passing today to fix this disaster. It cannot happen soon enough!”
  • 5/22/23 – Newmax: “The Biden administration has done this intentionally. [Department of Homeland Security] Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas has done this intentionally. For what reason? Everybody asks me all the time. I think that ultimately they hope to turn all these illegals into voters for their side.”
  • 9/23/23 – Twitter: “232,972 = the number of illegal immigrants encountered at our Southern Border in August, an all-time record for that month. (Countless more came through our open border undetected!) 246,886 = the total population of Shreveport & Bossier City, according to the latest Census.”

Most of the Republican Members of the House Judiciary Committee have amplified white nationalist “invasion” and “replacement” conspiracy 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.  

• Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH-04), used the invasion rhetoric as a fundraising ploy in his campaign email calling to “end the invasion”. 
• Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ-05) is a no stranger to using the deadly conspiracy theory. In February 2023 he tweeted, “The Biden Administration is now legalizing the historic invasion at the southern border. Its new parole program and CBP One phone app are shuffling hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens into our communities. The Admin should prevent illegal immigration—not facilitate it.”
• Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX-21) consistently promoted the white nationalist conspiracy as early as May 2022 in a fundraising  email claiming that “Biden is blocking American energy production; and our “leaders” are intentionally ignoring the invasion at our border”.
• Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL-01) tweeted “Tucker Carlson is correct about replacement theory as he explains what is happening to America” leading his base to believe in the violent inducing conspiracy theory.
• Lance Gooden (R-TX-05) is a co-sponsor of the bill H.Res.50: “Recognizing that Article I, Section 10 of the United States Constitution explicitly reserves to the States the sovereign power to repel an invasion and defend their citizenry from the overwhelming and “imminent danger” posed by paramilitary, narco-terrorist cartels, terrorists and criminal actors who have seized control of our southern border.”

NEW EXAMPLES OF MEMBERS AMPLIFYING WHITE NATIONALIST CONSPIRACIES:

• • Andy Biggs (R-AZ-05)
    • 9/23/23 – Twitter: “New data reveals that 304,162 illegal aliens were encountered in August. That is the largest total for any month in American history. My GOP colleagues must get on board with impeaching Biden and Mayorkas or else they’re complicit with this invasion.”
    • 10/4/23 – Twitter: “Join me today for another episode of the What’s the Biggs Idea podcast.

    • 11/8/23 – Twitter: “Democrat policies are not appealing. We’re experiencing record inflation, ridiculously high prices for gas and groceries, and an unprecedented border invasion. The Trump Administration would not have allowed this to happen. https://t.co/vDkgbIKK4j”

    • 12/7/23 – Twitter: “We have no clue how many illegal aliens are crossing our borders. We don’t know where they’re coming from or what their intentions are. Biden and Mayorkas compromise our national security every single day by refusing to close our borders. https://t.co/ccwjaLwC7d”
    • 12/13/23 – Twitter: “The United States is almost $34 TRILLION in debt. Our border is wide open, and we’re being invaded by illegal aliens from across the globe.

    • 1/23/24 – Twitter: “Since the Biden Administration has failed to protect Texas, the state ought to protect itself with as much razor wire and barrier as needed. Biden’s border mess will already take generations to clean up. Americans should not put up with this invasion.”

    • 1/24/24 – Twitter: “The Biden Administration is violating Article IV, Section 4 of our Constitution. The federal government “shall protect each [state] from invasion.” More states need to take matters into their own hands. The federal government has failed them.”
    • 1/26/24 – Twitter: “This proposed package is a non-starter and legitimizes the current invasion. Enforce our existing laws. No more strings attached deals.”
    • 1/30/24 – Hearing: “you can’t control what and determine what an invasion is when the sovereign state and don’t forget that the founders intended to recognize the sovereignty of the states to govern themselves if that you’re to turn the definition of invasion over to the federal government who is violating the invasion clause”2:16:18

    • 9/27/23 – Twitter: “Americans are witnessing an invasion at our borders every day because DHS Secretary Mayorkas has willfully IGNORED his duty to protect the homeland & uphold the rule of law. As I continue working for his impeachment, tonight I joined with @HouseGOP to hold him accountable by effectively DEFUNDING his position.”
    • 9/30/23 – Twitter: “In yet another late weekend news dump & failed attempt to hide the truth, CBP just said that illegal border crossings hit a RECORD HIGH of 260,000 last month.

    • 10/3/23 – Twitter: “The border crisis is the worst on record & it’s lasted for 30 months. Biden’s policies are directly to blame – border experts & illegal migrants crossing the border themselves have said so much. That’s why I’ll continue fighting to secure our border & stop this invasion.”
    • 10/11/23 – Twitter: “The invasion at our borders is not an accident. Even DHS admits that foreign terrorists have exploited Biden’s open borders to illegally enter the U.S. America is less safe and those who wish us harm know it.”

    • 11/14/23 – Twitter: “Last month, there were 240,988 illegal crossings at the southern border, including 12 people on the terrorist watch list. The Biden admin’s failed policy decisions are only aiding and abetting this INVASION at our open border.”

    • 1/8/24 – Twitter: ““Running out of options” to fix a problem he created.🙄 The solutions are simple. Biden refuses to implement them. Instead, his administration facilitates the border invasion & sues Texas for trying to stop it. Make no mistake – they want open borders and mass amnesty.”
    • 1/25/24 – Twitter: “The invasion at the border is a direct result of Biden’s deliberate refusal to enforce our immigration laws. There’s ZERO evidence that the Senate Swamp deal would do anything to “secure the border.” If reports on the deal’s contents are correct, it would make things even WORSE. It’s a cover to get what they really want – more $$$ for Ukraine. Americans see through the charade, & the Senate Ukraine caucus is panicking.”

    • 1/26/24 – Twitter: “Joe Biden doesn’t need more money from Congress to secure the border; he needs to enforce the laws as written. Until he does his job and protects American borders from invasion by signing an H.R.2 equivalent, I will not vote for a single penny more of government spending.”

    • 1/5/24 – Twitter: “The worst border invasion in American history rages on while the President takes no questions or responsibility.”

This invasion and replacement conspiracy 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 murdered 11 in Pittsburgh in 2018, shared in racist screeds before the murder in Poway and the murder of 23 in El Paso in 2019, believed by those who attacked the Capitol in 2021, and copied by the gunman who killed ten people in Buffalo in May of this year. 

While many of the Republicans, including those in the House Judiciary 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.

The pervasiveness of this belief is not only concerning because of the violence it inspires but it is also a threat to American democracy. There is also a clear path between embracing ‘replacement’ lies and the lie of fraudulent elections. These twin lies often merge in a racist lie that Democrats are encouraging non-white migrants as an electoral ploy. 

Whether implicit or explicit, it is critical to note that from their positions of power in Congress, the Republicans on House Judiciary Committee employing this rhetoric are engaging in a form of stochastic terrorism – when public figures engage in dehumanizing rhetoric that points to an out-group as a serious threat and seemingly random but targeted violence is then directed at the targets of the dehumanization. The Republicans who push this invasion and replacement conspiracy and those who remain silent are in part responsible for that violence. As Dr. Rachel Kleinfeld, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said “there are people who gin up an atmosphere in which other people act and if you don’t recognize that creating this atmosphere as part of what’s enabling it then you might think you are not guilty. We really need to find a way to convince the people who are creating this atmosphere that they are the one holding the gun and someone else is pulling the trigger.”

Dr. Heidi Beirich, Co-founder and Chief Strategist Global Project Against 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 conspiracy theories that exists today. This lie has inspired mass murders around the world, including last year’s shooting 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 assignments 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 Judiciary Committee Members engaging in this dangerous rhetoric followed by the list of Committee hearing witnesses who also amplified the white nationalist “invasion” and “replacement” conspiracy.
