american values share nothing ideologically with white nationalism. nothing supremacist claim resonate with any of us here today and i appreciate the chance to consider how to combat the violence associated with this terrible ideology. too often we have seen white nationalism and racial and ethnic and cultural superiority end in violence at the national level. hatred and racial superiority continue to play out in western china where the uighurs are being detained in education camps and killed and growing rampant in iraq. issuend over again, the is racism and hate that mobilize people for violence. why haven't we learned these lessons? all men are created with the and other bedrock principles of our nation. the problem is our hearts run quickly to hate. and embrace any data to suggest that we are better than our neighbors. today hate always makes its nest in pridefulness. when we examine the foundations of white supremacy the primary difference between white nationalism and ethnic cleansing not substance. i think people would campaign experience have witnessed firsthand h

i am not talking about the white supremacists and neo-nazis, because they should be condemned totally. the media has never made that clear, that in that statement, he condemned neo-nazis and white nationalists. he did not mean they were fine people, quite the contrary. he was disgusted by them. >> i look forward to the day when martin luther king jr. dream is a reality, where we judge people by the content of their character and not the caller of their skin, but i am amazed how many times when there is an objection to something someone says, that if the person making the objectionable comment happens to be black or jewish, then you are a racist, you are an anti-semite. the amazed, mr. klein, anti-defamation league has understand, a i jewish person to be anti-jew ish is interesting. mr. potts -- i certainly appreciate your noble service to our country -- facebook owns instagram, correct? >> yes, they do. >>'s instagram have the same standards as facebook? >> for the most part, we apply our community standards across the board. >> i am told i can have this screenshot at the back -- repo

their former policy was one in which they deemed white supremacist conduct prohibited but carved out an exception for white nationalist and separatist activities. we had to make clear that this is a distinction without a difference. this is all dangerous and violent ideology. they have now abandoned that practice and we are monitoring and watching closely to see how .hat is implemented but no doubt we must not ignore the way in which violent white supremacists are it -- are using these platforms to add to their movement. host: i wonder what your reaction to new zealand's law is after the mosque shootings there. in new zealand, you are prohibited from spreading violent videos online. when the killer used facebook live, and people spread that video allowed -- around, they committed crime under new zealand law. guest: in many respects new zealand is a model response to what you want to see a nation do in the wake of such her renda's and painful tragedy -- horrendous and painful tragedy. we saw real laws prone the books to confront hate in a bipartisan fashion. rejection of the status quo

facebook, for some time, maintained a policy where they deemed white supremacist content to be prohibited and banned on their platform. but, they came up with a policy that carved out an exception for white nationalists and white separatists. we pushed and pushed facebook to recognize that this was a difference without a distinction at the end of the day. they ultimately abandoned that policy. the reality is that there are dangerous, violent white supremacist organizations out there who are going out there and using their words to go out and harm communities, to harm people, and to incite violence. that is the problem that we are focused on tackling, and none of this is speech protected under the first amendment. >> i can speak about the tech perspective a little bit. we want to maintain the first amendment. we don't want government censorship. but with tech, it can be tricky, because there is not clear legislative ways to do this. in to give you the lay of the land, there is something called the communications decency act. tech companies are not held responsible for the content on their

but regardless of what you call them, white nationalists, the all right, neo-nazis, the kkk, white supremacists, all pose the same grave threat today. the actions of online white supremacy -- but not in substance it -- not in substance. asy follow the same script those who bond houses of warship and those who paraded -- berated black children on the way to school. congress must address this. congress has addressed this challenge before and ended racial segregation with the enactment of laws, many of which that don't apply online. we need similar tools that help us confront what we are up against today. extends should protections to businesses that moved to provide goods and services online. this would make it clear that interference and equal participation in the digital public square is no more acceptable than discrimination. we encourage adoption of the online civil rights and privacy act of 2019. -- goal of this bill is to is antidiscrimination in order to give congress a comprehensive privacy model that prioritizes civil rights. the philosophy behind this bill is to apply time-tested civil

there was some attempts foiled including one who was a self proclaimed white supremacist that was in the national guard. we always no that white nationalism is a global problem. we have since learned that the killer made a donation to a white nationalist organization in australia. they want a replacement of whites with nonwhites in europe. that is what the killer used as the title of hism manifesto. it is clearly a threat to democracies around the world, but we don't know much about how government is addressing it. we face a dirth of information. and it hamplers our ability to do anything about it. the dh ss has not released any information in a decade. we don't know how they are addressing the extremism. until we know what is being done, it is nearly impossible for us to know what we can do moving forward. there are other causes of concern that we have related to federal law enforcement including a misguided report warning of violence from a nonexistent extremist ideology. we also face a similar black hole when it comes to hate crime reporting. because we porting procedures are volun

that is, white supremacists were responsible for more than three-quarters of all domestic extreme ils murders in 2018. so there is a crucial need for this hearing focusing on white nationalism. not that other types of extremism are not dangerous, but because we as a society, our laws, and our elected leaders have not focused sufficiently on the rising threat of white supremacy. the other driving force for the resurgence of white supremacy is the role of social media in enabling this hate to spread. just this morning, adl issued a new report documenting how, before carrying out the hateful murders in pittsburgh and new zealand, the alleged white supremacist gunmen frequented fringe social networking sites like gab and achan that act as echo chambers for the most virulent anti-semitism and racism and act as acting recruiting grounds for potential terrorists. these platforms are like white supremacist digital rallies, creating on-line communities that amplify their vitriolic fantasies. we believe our challenges must include revitalizing the federal government's attention to potential ter

if you continue the sentence, he says people were there not signed up with the neo-nazis and white supremacists were there about a park being renamed and a statue taken down. when the president of the united states condemns white supremacy and neo-nazis and kkk in the first couple months of his term and it's twisted around for almost two years -- >> i don't know who he was talking about. >> he made that very clear. >> i understand he wasn't talking about the neo-nazis and white supremacists. >> he condemned them. >> thank you. >> he also said there were fine people on both sides. my question about this incident since you brought it up is who are these very fine people? the rally was -- >> let me interject. we've said this so many times. >> it's called ignite the right rally formed by people like richard spencer who is a white supremacist. friday night was the tiki torch march. >> horrible people. >> saturday heather higher was killed. >> heather heyer was murdered. >> who were the fine people. >> he was talking about the debate over removing statues. >> he was not talking about the weekend at a

needed, the president's rhetoric fans the flames with language the intentional or not, motivate white supremacist movements. we only need to look at the perpetrators of violence and hate to see the rhetoric it has had. example the new the zealand said he supports president trump an example of white identity and common purpose. congress in recent years, has also failed to take serious the threat the white nationalism the hate crimes pose. the congress we did not even hold here relating after the charlottesville white rally or the tree of life in the synagogue shooting. now we see witnesses invited by the minority who openly associate with hate. americans have died because of it. i did not call this hearing to promote the messages that we need to come back. we must review those to divide us their message of hate. i will say now, it appears the federal law enforcement agencies did not take the deadly increasing dangers posed by white nationalist hate groups as terror threats. occurring from january 2008 to december 20, 0060. twice as many attacks perpetrated by extremists compared to those identifie

in response to an increase in violent attacks by white supremacists in the us sound the live streaming of the fatal new zealand mustardy on facebook a congressional hearing has been held on the rise of white nationalism but unwittingly the hearing revealed the problems of isolating hate speech on social media shutdowns and explains. this rally in charlottesville virginia and twenty seventeen has become an iconic representation of the growing confidence of white supremacists in the u.s. on the house judiciary committee hearing on hate crimes and white nationalism began with this assessment white supremacists have been responsible for more than half fifty four percent of all domestic extremist related murders in the past ten years and in the last year that figure has risen to seventy eight percent of all extremists related murders a father spoke of his grief of losing two of his children under saddam murdered by a white supremacist this condescending man told her he hated how she looked as it made it very clear to my children that they were not welcome in their own neighborhood and repre

lee, also a white supremacist, who the president there praised today on the south lawn of the white house as well. this, i think, goes to show that biden is getting under donald trump's skin a little bit there. he basically fell into his trap. and you see the president there taking the bait and trying to rewrite what was a really dark day for this white house. you had officials back in august of 2017, really thinking about whether or not they wanted to continue in this administration, after the president's words there, where he really tried to draw a moral equivalency, between white supremacists and people who were protesting white supremacy. >> why is he even bothering talking about, it was a low point after clharlottesville, when he said, very fine people on both sides. why does he keep talking about it? just because the former vice president raised it? >> some saw it a as a low point, but the president was very irritated. when he came back to the white house and offered this, essentially, what amounted to an apology in their eyes, sources told us that the president was angry about the

in august 2017, a white supremacist killed heather heyer, who was protesting a white premacy rally in charlottesville. in october 2018, a white supremacist killed nine worshippers in a pittsburgh synagogue. and, just last month, a white supremacist killed 50 people at two mosques in new z. committee chairman jerry nadler said today's hearing was prompted by that new zealandat ck, and the role social media played, by enabling it to be live-streamed. >> i'd like to be cl there is no room for terrorism or hate on facebook. >> nawaz: facebook's public policy director, neil potts,le ackned his company has been criticized for allowing hate speech on its platform, but he pushed back, noting quickly removed the new zealand shooter's live-stream: >> on facebook, on iam, we took immediate action towards that video. once we were made aware, we were able to remove the video within ten minute >> nawaz: some expressed concern that tech companies like facebook and google were stifling free speech by banning certain topics. republican congressman tom mcclintock of california: >> suppressing speech, e

and they will see he was a white supremacist. and that's -- that's just unfathomable in the 21st century. but then you look book are back at our mystery and you see maybe we led to this. >> the president says that general lee was a great general but he also said this. watch. >> nothing makes me more morned and proud than to be the nominee of abraham lincoln's republican party. >> abraham lincoln was a linc republican, right. right republicans are the party of abraham lincoln. >> so can someone be for abraham lincoln robert lee time? >> i look at this fairly simply as a pastor. s in an issue of where do you -- where do you rest your treasure? do you rest your treasure with a treasonous traitor or rest your treasure with something better, higher ideals and better angels? i do believe that the united states has potential. we have seen that in people like abraham lincoln and other presidents. but i know that we have to confront that for what it is and say, you know, there were good people like abraham lincoln and there were bad peopl

there is a debate underway as to whether the president himself with his rhetoric is encouraging white supremacists white extremists to become more confident is interesting that in this manifesto if it is indeed tied to the government this government all of these in the manifesto it's all trump isn't right wing enough but which were true it will be used if it is connected to the gum and so there is this debate underway one just on friday donald trump was courting controversy once again by suggesting that those white supremacists who marched in charlottesville in twenty seventeen that there were some very fine people among them even though that was billed as an anti semitic white supremacist racist racist mob having said that to the donald trump is also using the spike for his own political ends it's clear that i was twenty twenty approaches he's not trying to present the democratic party as anti sematic and that's going to be part of his message going to be election because more and more democrats are speaking out against the extreme right wing government in israel the illegal occupation of palesti

here's the thing, the president would like to dis tract you from the fact that white supremacists and neo-nazis openly paraded their hate on the streets of charlottesville. but that is gaslighting. gaslighting by the light of those tiki torches, let's listen again to the president's words in the wake of that shocking, violent, deadly neo-nazi rally on the streets of an american town. >> showed up in charlottesville to protest -- >> excuse me. you have some very bad people in that group but you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. you had people in that group, excuse me, excuse me, i saw the same pictures as you did. you had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from robert e. lee to another name. >> this was never about a statue of robert e. lee. let's give you some facts. the permit application straight up called it a unite the right rally. according to an affidavit filed by the charlottesville police department in the days leading up to the rally authorities knew who

white men have targeted religious islam communities mostly out of fear for white americanism or white supremacists and whatnot. pennsylvania, quebec city in canada and now christchurch. what do they share in common? angry white men deemed some kind of threat to them to what it means to be canadian or american or european or even white, right? there's some differences notices attacks well but maybe some commonality in making sense of all of this. when it comes to anti-semitism and islamophobia, i don't think this is talked about enough. there is some intersection in both europe and the united states, for example. i believe anti-semitism on both sides of the atlantic have actually gone to the same wellspring. how did jews become white? that's telling you something about how jews were categorized, racialized themselves in that american identity and jewish identity weren't seen as synonymous. the same way we see extreme nationalism in jewish was brought over. that role of anti-semitism has been played, and terms of constructing white individuality is the same. that's what i see in a lot of muslim rhet

reporter: if the president is so concerned about white supremacists, extremism and white nationalism and all forms of hate, as you put it, why has -- under this president -- several d.h.s. programs to combat white supremacists, extremism, anti-semitism and violence associated with those types of groups been cut, programs have been defunded, teams disbanded? why does this keep happening if it's such a problem? would the president look to reform some of those team and fund them? sarah: there are a number of programs that still exist in places throughout the administration. to pretend that the president is anything but outraged or heart broken over these incidents is a total mischaracterization of the president. again, we're going to look for every way possible to fight back against those things and speak out against it. katherine. reporter: anything that gives you optimism that the president and the administration can work on infrastructure? sarah: i think they understand the importance it is. the willingness we have seen from democrats to come sit down at the white house is a good ste

rights attorney that our government would devote significantly more resources to targeting white supremacists and hate groups because we know that there has been a significant increase in those types of crimes that have happened within the last several years and so in order for us as african-americans as demonstrators as peaceful protesters to feel safe we want our government to shift their focus and the. way in which they prioritize the use of resources to go after those folks who are actually wreaking havoc upon communities of color. and i think that's really important to remember in this situation because as you connect these two raise these two events or these two situations when you look at how tragic these fires are and as constant. we keep that remind of these church fires as you said you know whether it's a mass shooting or another one of these places being burned down those things connect so these churches and louisiana being being burned down to me is a pretty direct relation to them the f.b.i. not taking these white the white nationalistic story messed portion of the population tha

his open letter posted on social media spelled out his white supremacist ideals. rabbi, whose finger was shot off in a hail of bullets, while trying to protect his congregation, is still in disbelief. >> i think to myself, this is not supposed to happen. this isn't nazi germany, this is the pogram. >> it is no longer this 8-year-old no longer feels safe anywhere. she was hit by shrapnel in the face and love. >> the world isn't supposed to be like this. it's supposed to be peaceful and quiet and not like wars and bad stuff. >> reporter: her father says he's at a loss for how to protect his family. his daughter and brother-in-law were both injured in saturday's shooting. >> we're afraid where we are now because of anti-semitism, you show up here and what do you see in this synagogue? >> a war. it's looking, it sounds like a war. >> this is clearly a form of terrorism, because it's being done to advance an agenda and that agenda is maybe nebulous, but it has to do with evicting jews from society, evicting muslims from society. >> reporter: since 2014, hate crimes hav

has a long history of white supremacist violence against against minorities but clearly there has been a spike donald trump and this is been an issue just in the last week where once again he said that the the extreme right wing rally in charlottesville and twenty seventeen there were good people on both sides even though this was an explicitly far right wing white supremacist rally where anti semitic trumpets drums were made it's interesting too that the n.b.c. at least has named the gunman and the house has been. a sort of manifest of sorts in the name off of this government if it is indeed this person that has been circulating in the last few hours which is a white supremacist anti semitic christian fundamentalist document where all sorts of the usual tropes we hear against jews are being mentioned and so on interestingly there if this is indeed written by the government he doesn't think donald trump is right wing enough but this will add to that idea of the growing confidence of white supremacists in the u.s. so i think we can if this is confirmed to be a hate crime we can expect t

testifying to the threat to law enforcement of white national m nationalism. >> the dangers of white supremacist, or violent extremism is, of course, significant. we assess that it's a persistent, pervasive threat. >> do you see today white nationalism as a rising threat around the world? >> i don't really. i think it's a small group of people that have very, very serious problems. >> you can see chris wray, the current fbi director at odds now with president trump. and the same way dan coats, his cia director and other folks are at odds with him and remain so with russia. >> yes. first of all russia and white nationalism in the united states are not unrelated. russia loves to fan this stuff. when anything like this happens, the troll bots are out in full force. there is any number of russian agents trying to fan this. they see this as the achille's heel of american life and see donald trump as an important agent in exacerbating that divide, which i think he has done through dog whistles or susingt cli in some cases. it's unclear to me whether he were sitting here or kellyanne conway were sittin

the president insists his response to the white supremacist violence in shore lotville, virginia, was perfect, while praising confederate general robert e. lee. >>> joe money. the newest member of the democratic presidential pack has raised more than $6 million in campaign cash in just 24 hours. as joe biden scored in the money race, did he stumble in a tv interview? >>> and russian agent speaks. maria butina begs for mercy before she's ordered to serve 18 months in prison. she's also been talking to cnn from behind bars. we're going to tell you what she revealed. >>> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >>> breaking news tonight. new evidence americans aren't buying president trump's claim he was exonerated by the mueller report. a new national poll shows 53% do not think mueller's investigation cleared mr. trump of all wrongdoing. the president is now likening the russia probe to an attempted coup against him, standing by that unfounded comparison in new co

three white supremacist in jasper, texas, chained and dragged james bird junior for miles, dragged him on the ground, the dirt, gravel. the horrific part about it is the fact that he lived through most of this dragging and didn't die until his body hit a culvert. his body hit the culvert, that is when he died. the impact that it had on jasper, 20 years later. if you look up jasper or check out their policy and things that have gone there, businesses have shied away from jasper because of the incident. white supremacy, white nationalism almost set this town down, this one incident. discounted and tech knowledge what is tragic about this, the town didn't acknowledge what happened to this man. they didn't name a street after him. they didn't try to solve the

. >>> texas executed a white supremacist behind one of the most horrific hate crimes in history. he got a lethal injection for the 1998 killing of james byrd junior, a black man who was beaten and dragged behind a truck. this is the second man executed for this. a third was sentenced to life in prison. this inspired the passage of hate crime legislation. >>> there are tourists breaking into homes across los angeles. this surveillance video caught them. this is one of 35 burglaries in the last four months. they have arrested seven suspects all in the u.s. on a temporary visa. >>> they have ve a system where they can steal the property and sell it and ship it back.

are people standing up to white supremacists, ever their equal, in moral blame?he left can be lawless and dangerous, but against nazis? right after one of them killed one of the people there to oppose them? is that the right message? the context that matters is this, we've had more of these right wing attacks since this potus came in. there's been a spike for the last five years but there have been more of a spike in the last year. and yet this president, he says it's not a big concern, small group. >> white nationalism a rising threat around the world? >> i don't really. i think it's a small group of people that have very, very serious problems, i guess. >> the numbers say it's up. and by the way the group that pulled off 9/11 was small too. didn't stop this president from indicting all of islam of hating us. he doesn't go after these attacks, not the actual threat to domestic terrorism the way he goes after muslims. why? why so quiet about congressman steve king? sure the party condemned him, not him. can't talk about enough about illegal entrants who commit cr
