Republicans and Democrats argue over impact of right-wing and left-wing extremism

The top Democrat on the committee, Rep. Glenn Ivey of Maryland, said that from an incident standpoint concerning killings between 2013 and 2022, 75% of the deaths were caused by right-wing extremism.

“That’s not to say that there is no left-wing extremism issue, or that there aren’t solutions that we should take or steps that we should take to address them, but it is to say that from a standpoint of violence and the risk of death to citizens here in the United States, right-wing extremism is a greater problem,” Mr. Ivey said.
