When Republican House Oversight Committee Members Amplified White Nationalist Conspiracy Theories

Share This:

Most of the Republican Members of the House Oversight 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.

  • 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), who is also the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has repeatedly made explicit and implicit references to the white nationalist conspiracy. In a video produced by the Republican House Judiciary staff, Jordan falsy asserts, “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 conspiracy 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” conspiracy. On January 23, 2023, Gosar tweeted: “We shouldn’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

NEW EXAMPLES OF MEMBERS AMPLIFYING WHITE NATIONALIST CONSPIRACIES:

  • Paul Gosar
    • 5/8/23 – Twitter: “Over 6.5 million illegal aliens have invaded America since February 2021. Over 35 million illegals remain in America. Nearly 1 million are set to cross this month. Our military has one job: defend our borders. Instead, Biden has sent $200 billion in military aid to Ukraine to defend THEIR borders. Unacceptable.”
    • 5/9/23 – Twitter: “The Biden Regime is encouraging this invasion for two main reasons: They want to stay in power forever, and they hate the Americans already here.”
    • 5/10/23 – Twitter: “States have a right to repel the invasion at our southern border. We don’t need to be driving illegals further into the country on buses. We need to build the wall, deport them all, and protect our borders.”
    • 5/10/23 – Twitter: “Over 700,000 illegal aliens are preparing to flood into our country through our wide open borders when Title 42 ends tomorrow. America is being invaded. Border states must repel the invaders as is their right.”
      5/12/23 – Twitter: “FACT: The current invasion at our southern border would not be happening if President Trump was still in the White House.”
    • 5/13/23 – Twitter: “America needs an immigration moratorium. STOP THE INVASION!”
    • 5/20/23 – Twitter: “We cannot have legal immigration when we are experiencing an invasion of rampant illegal immigration at our southern border. It’s a threat to our national security, economy, our culture, and our way of life. We need an immigration moratorium.”
  • Lauren Boebert
    • 5/11/23 – Twitter: “While @POTUS, @SecMayorkas, and the rest of this administration turn their backs on the American people, we passed the Secure the Border Act, in the House. We must protect our great nation and we must defend our southern border from this invasion!”
    • 5/13/23 – Twitter: “We’ve seen the video of the Paso Del Norte bridge in El Paso being rushed yesterday. Liberals get bent out of shape when we say our country is being invaded. Even our ports of entries are not secure. Impeach Secretary Mayorkas!”
    • 5/28/23 – Twitter: “Instead of addressing the real issues like the invasion of our southern border, @POTUS continues to push an agenda that strips away our Second Amendment rights to bear arms. This leaves the American people vulnerable and unable to protect themselves against criminals HE is letting invade our southern border. We need a President that will take a stand against illegal immigration and secure our border, not take away our constitutional rights.”
  • Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA-14)
    • 5/5/23 – Twitter: “🚨 Warning Imminent Invasion! DHS and Border Patrol are warning there are an estimated 700,000 migrants in Mexico ready to rush the border when Title 42 is lifted on May 11th. And the Darian Gap in Panama is seeing an over 500% increase in migrations to the US. But Biden has only sent 1,500 military troops to the border because his polling numbers are so bad and to help border patrol agents act as a welcoming committee into the U.S.  Democrats claim these migrants are coming because of climate change. That’s a fool’s lie. Migrants are coming because Joe Biden opened our border to the entire world and the American people have to pay for it all and live with the national security implications and dangerous consequences.”
    • 5/7/23 – Twitter: “This is what Joe Biden is doing to our country. We should have our military at the border stopping the imminent invasion coming later this week when Title 42 lifts. This is already unsustainable and is a true national security crisis!”
    • 5/8/23 – Twitter: “Biden is talking about planes, trains, and automobiles and we’re about to be invaded by 1 million people.”
    • 5/9/23 – Twitter: “This is no longer an imminent invasion. It’s begun.”
    • 5/9/23 – Twitter: “America’s Southern border is ravaged by an illegal alien invasion and Joe Biden isn’t doing a damn thing to stop them. Make no mistake: the Democrats want our borders ripped wide open so they can grant them amnesty, harvest the votes and guarantee total Democrat control for decades to come. We must do everything in our power to stop them from plunging America into third-world status.”
    • 5/11/23 – Twitter: “H.R. 2, the Secure The Border Act, just passed the Republican-led House. The GOP is fighting to stop the invasion, while Biden and the Democrats want to continue flooding our border with violent criminals, sex traffickers, and drugs like fentanyl that are murdering Americans.”
    • 5/17/23 – Twitter: “Our Southern border is being invaded, overrun & ignored. 1000s of illegal aliens, tons of drugs & even terrorists cross our border every day. Secretary Mayorkas is responsible. Today, I’m introducing articles of impeachment to remove him from office.”
    • 6/6/23 – House Homeland Committee Hearing: “now that we have an app to organize the illegal invasion into America so that everyone gets accepted and gets in”. 1:11:55
  • Clay Higgins (R-LA-03)
    • 5/10/23 – Twitter: “Invasion. My sources tell me that 700K illegals from all over the world are stacked up to the ceiling in every Mexican border city hotel. 30-40 to a room. On top of that are thousands of tent camps. Looking like 700K illegal crossings in a 6 week window. Starting this week.”
  • Byron Donalds (R-FL-19)
    • 5/9/23 – Twitter: “🧵THREAD🧵@JoeBiden’s open borders policy has resulted in nothing short of a DISASTER. Title 42 will end on THU & record illegal immigration statistics are set to rise even higher. The @HouseGOP is working on SOLUTIONS while Biden & Democrats allow this invasion to surge in.”

Why this matters:  

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 2022. 

While many of the Republicans, including those 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 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 Oversight  Committee Members engaging in this dangerous rhetoric.
