Darrell Issa called for hearings on white supremacists after appearing at conference for hate group
Source: Think Progress
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) called on the House Judiciary Committee last week to hold hearings on white supremacists and other hate groups, but in June, Issa gave an interview at a conference put on by a group the Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled a hate group and white supremacist organization.
In a letter to House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), Issa called for the Judiciary Committee to hold hearings in order to more fully understand what led to the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia two weekends ago.
One woman, Heather Heyer, was killed in Charlottesville when a man drove a car into a group of counter-protesters who were there to protest white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and KKK members who had gathered for a rally.

Louie Gohmert Suggests Terry McAuliffe Should Be Investigated for Charlottesville Violence
by Joe DePaolo | 9:56 am, August 21st, 2017
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) is pointing fingers over Charlottesville. Who is he blaming? Dem. Governor Terry McAuliffe and Charlottesville mayor Michael Signer.
In a Sunday appearance on Fox & Friends, Gohmert called for a Department of Justice investigation on McAuliffe and Signer because
um
who knows, exactly?
The way forwards not gonna be easy, Gohmert said. And I think the Justice Department needs a full investigation of the governor, of the mayor. In addition to charging the two Virginia pols with inciting Charlottesville for no apparent reason, the Texas Congressman went on to throw out a completely unsubstantiated claim that McAuliffe and Signer were complicit in violence at President Donald Trump events.
We have got to have this investigated, Gohmert said. They were the violence (sic) at Trump events, and they may have been behind this violence getting started. They facilitated it, anyway.
