minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOWMAN. Mr. Speaker, 2 years ago, a gunman drove to a Black 
neighborhood with an assault rifle in his hand and hate in his heart, 
opening fire and killing 10 people in Buffalo, New York. He was 
radicalized by the great replacement theory, a white supremacist, 
racist, anti-Semitic conspiracy.
  We are still mourning 10 souls lost to this senseless violence.
  The only way to move forward is to acknowledge that what is killing 
us in droves is hatred and continued white supremacy. Congress cannot 
continue to ignore these hateful and discriminatory ideologies that are 
being promoted by far-right MAGA extremists.
  I introduced a resolution to condemn the great replacement theory, 
racism, anti-Semitism, hatred, and bigotry in all its forms. We must 
stand up together and say clearly that white supremacy is an 
existential threat. We also need reparations for the Black community in 
Buffalo and around the country, like food justice for community members 
and free mental health to support and address community trauma.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in condemning the great 
replacement theory, repairing the harms of white supremacy, and 
fighting to root out hatred once and for all.
