Swalwell Pushes for ‘White Nationalism Task Force’

Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell called for “a white nationalism task force” at the Department of Justice Monday.

“They’re going to need, I believe, at the Department of Justice, a white nationalism task force to make sure that they’re understanding at the earliest of ages how people are being radicalized, if there are in fact training camps,” Swalwell said on “MSNBC Live With Katy Tur.”

“And in our evidence we found that the Oath Keepers, a group, in particular, that they do have like training camps and an initiation process very much like international terrorist groups do,” Swalwell said. “So we’re going to have to make sure we use all of the tools and the resources we have to find these groups, to defeat these groups, and then bring them to justice in the courts.”

More lawmakers are advocating for a 9/11-like commission over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot after the Senate acquitted former President Donald Trump on Saturday of a charge of inciting the insurrection.
