U.S. House Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) cornered a radical left House Committee hearing witness using the same gotcha tricks they use to trap Republicans, and the reaction was priceless. Rep. Gill requested the caucasian liberal witness to deny being a “covert White supremacist,” which she refused to do. If a Republican witness refused to deny being a White supremacist, the fake news media would post charged headlines explaining how a Republican-led House Committee hearing invited a racist to testify.
Pronoun-using President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Council of Nonprofits, Diane Yentel, was invited during the “Public Funds, Private Agendas: NGOs Gone Wild” hearing to testify on how DOGE cuts had affected nonprofits.
However, Rep. Gills brought attention to Yentel’s works about “anti-racism and white fragility” and invited the liberal witness to comment on whether she/they believed that President Trump was a racist. Nonetheless, she refused to make a public statement, prompting Rep. Gills to highlight that she had characterized the incumbent as a “vile, despicable racist.”
Rep. Gills also highlighted other instances in which Yentel accused the president of being a racist, including social media posts claiming that Trump’s housing policies, headed by Black American Ben Carson, were racist. He also noted that one of Yentel’s charities had claimed that “denial of racism” amounted to “covert white supremacy.”
Refusing to answer what many Americans would consider direct questions with obvious answers, denouncing racism even of the “covert” type, Rep. Gills questioned whether the nonprofit head was a “covert White supremacist.”
“Are you a covert white supremacist?” he blurted.
That direct line of questioning would force many, even sworn “White supremacists,” to deny being racist, but Yentel was unmoved and refused to do so.
“Can I talk about the work that nonprofits do?” Yentels asked in response, leaving Rep. Gills dumbfounded.
“No. I’m asking you if you’re a covert white supremacist, which, according to one of your own organizations – again, denial of racism constitutes covert white supremacy,” he insisted. “Would you like to answer the question?”
However, the Democrat would not budge and refused outright to answer the question.
“I am utterly dumbfounded – you will — you are on record right now, and you will not say that you are not a covert white supremacist?” Gill asked.
Interestingly, Yentel claimed she don’t know the meaning of the term and thus refused to answer the question. I bet both overt and covert racists understand what the statement means.
Existing studies, including social justice literature, have extensively discussed “covert White supremacy.” Seemingly, it would be a no-brainer for someone who has written, tweeted, and accused others of racism.
Some studies, such as Turner’s You Shall Not Replace Us!’ White supremacy, psychotherapy and decolonisation, published by the British Journal of Medical Psychology, even categorize “Make America Great Again” as examples of “covert White supremacy.”
Even by liberal standards, we know Yentel is not a “MAGA hat-wearing” NGO president, thus suggesting something even more sinister. Nonetheless, Yentel would not denounce “covert White supremacy,” no matter what it is.
