It is so hard to sit here and listen to this. That’s one reason I watched the majority of this um and didn’t actually sit in this room because I’m sure my faces would have told um everything that I was thinking. Um is there anyone that finds it odd? Well, can we start here? I’m going start with the entire panel.
Are the Proud Boys a white supremacist organization? Yes or no? Starting with Miss Wy. It is my view they are. >> It depends on how you define it.
I have a book. >> Okay, never mind. >> It depends on how you >> say yes or no. Proud choice. How they define themselves.
Are they white supremacist? Yes or no? >> I have not read a description of how they define themselves. >> That’s fine. >> I’m not on their mailing list.
I don’t know. So, are you only on the mailing list of >> I’m not like the SPLC. I don’t fund organizations that I’m >> Oh, it just seemed like you were saying because you haven’t received their mail, you only receive the mail of white supremacists. But go ahead, last witness. >> No, they’re not white supremacist.
>> And you know what? I do believe that y’all believe that. Let’s try another one. Neo-Nazis, Miss Wy. >> Well, yes.
What? >> Neo-Nazi. Nazis is in their name. Neo-Nazis. Dr.
Swain. Is the question still about the Proud Boys or is it about the uh >> neonazis? We have moved on. Neo-Nazis. >> Neo-Nazis are hate groups and I have a book 2000.
Thank you so much groups that I suggest that you all read. >> I’m reclaiming my time. I’m reclaiming my time. >> Neo-Nazis, >> are they white supremacists? >> Neo-Nazis, are they white supremacists?
>> Yes or no? This isn’t easy. >> What’s that? >> This isn’t easy. >> Yes or no?
>> They’re certainly anti-semitic, which I would join with any member of the Democratic party. Mr. Nadler early was talking about standing up the Jewish >> reclaiming my time. >> Happy to do that. >> Yes, they’re white supremacist.
>> Woo. Thank God. Jesus Christ. I didn’t think we were going to get there. Oh my gosh.
Let me be clear. Proud boys are freaking white supremacists. Neo-Nazis are too. And this president who loves to cuddle white supremacists has decided that they should be given checks. The reasons that I pointed to those particular organizations is because you can go and read I don’t know how many articles as Dr.
Swain wants people to read up. I’m going be clear. I I’ve read my fair share of books. I do have my fair share of degrees. It is clear that neo-Nazis as well as Proud Boys joined in on January 6.
Yet this slush fund that they keep talking about is specifically to give them money. So how dare this majority sit here and try to lecture try to lecture this organization about money. Now we’re not talking about taxpaying dollars as we are in that slush fund. But you’re telling me the two billion dollars in the same country that I’m sure some of y’all would struggle with whether or not the enslavement of black people was good or bad. I’m not even going to go there and ask y’all the question because y’all struggled with defining that these people were white supremacists.
But this country still hasn’t thought that reparations made sense for black folk in this country. But at the same time, they’ve decided that people that are in organizations that are absolutely white supremacy organizations should get our tax dollars because they decided to tear apart or attempt to tear apart our democracy. They are being rewarded. These are people that went through our criminal justice system. When people on that side of the aisle claim that they love law and order, they went through it.
They either entered p of guilty or they were found guilty. And this president on day one, his priority was not around racism. It was around doing things like letting them go and now putting money in their pockets. We haven’t had one hearing on white supremacy. Yet when we look at things like the killing of Ahmad Arbory, George Floyd, Bana Taylor, the nine worshippers who were murdered at the Mother Emanuel AM church, the 23 people murdered in 2019 during a shooting at Walmart in El Paso, the 10 people murdered during the 2022 shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.
All of these were murdered by white supremacists who are empowered by the Republican party’s racist rhetoric and policies. This is the same party that wants to drag us back to the Jim Crow era. Some say that there aren’t pole taxes, and I guess it’s because they’re not listing the amount of money, but when you tell somebody that they’ve got to go and pay for something, say, like a passport that costs over $100 in order to be able to vote, that looks like a pole tax to me. Some of y’all need to read up on your history books, the very same ones that the Republicans have decided that people should not hear about because you don’t want real history taught in our schools because you’re afraid that it’s going to hurt people’s feelings to know that their ancestors were so savage that they would enslave black folk. You don’t want them to understand why the 14th Amendment mattered then and it matters today.
You don’t want them to understand that when they draw these racist lines and tell black folk that they shouldn’t have representation in this country that it is against the constitution. You want them to be ignorant so that they can sit up here and be your token for your mission expired.
