House Republicans And Democrats Lobbed Political Broadsides At Each Other | USA News Live | News18

House Republicans and Democrats lobbed political broadsides at each other on Tuesday, with each side claiming their opponents’ ideological extremists are more dangerous than the other.
A subcommittee of the Homeland Security Committee — the Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability panel — held a hearing titled “Mostly Peaceful: Countering Left-Wing Organized Violence.”

Republicans focused on the 2020 nationwide riots by groups such as antifa and Black Lives Matter following the death of George Floyd. Democrats countered that “right-wing” extremism caused more deaths in recent years through deadly mass shooters than left-wing activists who largely destroyed property and caused havoc for law enforcement.
“The left-wing lawlessness Americans experienced during the summer of 2020 was, unfortunately, only the beginning of a long season of political violence and intimidation,” said subcommittee Chairman Dan Bishop, North Carolina Republican. “We’ve now seen this violence perpetrated against law enforcement as well as brave Americans like Riley Gaines, who dare to exercise their freedom of speech. This increasing political violence cannot remain unchecked.”

The top Democrat on the committee, Rep. Glenn Ivey of Maryland, said that from an incident standpoint concerning killings between 2013 and 2022, 75% of the deaths were caused by right-wing extremism.
