There were over 251,000 migrant encounters in DecemberRepublicans on the House Oversight Committee took aim at a tweet put out by their Democratic counterparts which accused them of fueling "white nationalist conspiracy theories" with a hearing on security at the southern border.
Chairman James Comer highlighted the tweet at the opening of the hearing, which features Border Patrol agents and is on "the front lines of the border crisis."
Oversight Committee Democrats had tweeted a "good morning and good luck" to everyone except Republican members "who are using today's hearing to amplify white nationalist conspiracy theories instead of a comprehensive solution to protect our borders and strengthen our immigration system."
Comer called the tweet "disturbing" and warned that the tweet violates House rules.
