Statement

Congressman French Hill (AR-02) made the following statement regarding the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia:

"During World War II, my father-in-law helped to liberate Buchenwald concentration camp. He bore witness to Nazi terror -- a terror that started with an ideology of hate and superiority based upon race and creed. He and so many other Americans and Allies fought against that ideology, which was an affront to American values and continues to have no place in our civil society. I reject, in the strongest terms possible, the speech of hate and bigotry of white supremacists and others. It's repugnant and un-American. I condemn acts of domestic terror as the tools of cowards. Let's pray for civil discourse in our country, and my thoughts are with the community, those hurt, and those grieving over loss and injury."
