On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee had a hearing about the rise of hate and white nationalism in the US, which the committee’s YouTube account livestreamed. For about 40 minutes, the live YouTube comment stream was filled with hate, white nationalism, and anti-semitism.

Live stream watchers made blatantly racist and anti-semitic comments that trafficked in far-right rhetoric about “white genocide,” rejecting “diversity” and “multiculturalism,” and an “Islamist invasion.”
