President Joe Biden denounced white supremacists and urged Congress to end social media's special immunity at a White House summit on "hate-fueled violence" on Thursday.


A bipartisan group of local leaders, experts, and survivors of hate-based violent attacks attended Biden's "United We Stand" summit, on which he called for a response to racism and extremism.


“All forms of hate fueled by violence have no place in America,” the president said at Thursday’s summit, recalling various attacks, including a mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida in 2016, and another at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York earlier this year.


“White supremacists will not have the last word,” Biden said, without mentioning any other groups that have incited violence and hate in the United States in recent years.


Biden briefly mentioned the events of Jan. 6, 2021, when the U.S. Capitol was breached, saying that the event didn’t reflect “who we are” as a nation.


According to the Biden administration, the summit event was designed to “counter hate-fueled violence that threatens democracy and public safety, mobilize diverse sectors of society and communities against these dangers, and put forward a shared, inclusive, bipartisan vision of a more united America.”
