The white supremacist massacre at a Buffalo supermarket is the fourth major domestic terror attack in as many years explicitly motivated by the "great replacement" conspiracy theory. Once a fringe idea that festered in the darkest corners of the internet, it has been mainstreamed not only by propagandists like Tucker Carlson but also promoted by multiple sitting Republican representatives, including Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Scott Perry (R-PA), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Chip Roy (R-TX), and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI).
Call on Congress to kick out Republicans promoting white supremacist ideology!
The horrifying killings at the Tops grocery store are only the latest in a grim litany of atrocities directly motivated by these hateful ideas. Even one of these abominable acts should have been enough to prove that this kind of rhetoric gets people killed and should not be tolerated under any circumstances. For it to be publicly promoted by elected officials -- and for us to even have elected officials who endorse this kind of repugnant racism and delusion -- is beyond the pale. Demand Congress expel the Republicans pushing the white supremacist rhetoric that inspired the Buffalo massacre!
