This @HuffPost write-up of my testimony before Congress yesterday doesn't even exist in the same universe as what actually happened. @AndyBCampbell claims I "denied hate and white supremacy pose a threat at all," but even quotes me doing the opposite. huffpost.com/entry/congress… 
HufPo: "It’s unclear why Congress would need a dissenting opinion during a hearing titled 'Confronting White Supremacy: The Consequences of Inaction.'" Ah yes, dissenting opinions, it's very unclear why we need any of those.
The article also posits AOC as the savior of the hearing for asking good questions. And her questions were fine! But they were very similar to the questions asked by other Dems (including Ayanna Pressley).
HuffPo suggests Heather Heyer's mother, Ms. Susan Bro, was humiliated having to even sit near me. In reality, we had a polite discussion about tradeoffs between security and civil liberties, federal mandates and local autonomy, etc. She even said she would check out @reason.
It was a good event with plenty of fair questions and expert testimony from all sides. I'm thankful to have been included.
Here's my write up: reason.com/2019/05/16/hat…
