"Seven years ago today, a white supremacist terrorist shot and killed six people worshipping at the Oak Creek, Wisconsin, Sikh gurdwara. And now, our nation is once again mourning the aftermath of yet another act of white supremacist terrorism."

"After this tragedy, I convened a hearing on what could be done to combat violent white supremacists. Since then, the threat has only grown worse. https://www.durbin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/durbin-chairs-hearing-on-hate-crimes-and-the-threat-of-domestic-extremism …"

"It's long past time to call this threat what it is. White supremacy is the most dangerous form of domestic terrorism threatening our nation. If we aren't willing to confront this threat as such, these attacks will not stop. Inaction is unacceptable."

"The Senate should immediately pass my Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, the only legislation pending in the Senate to combat white supremacist violence. Enough is enough."
