JEFFRIES: "Well --"
WRAY: "-- the largest portion of -- of domestic terrorist investigations that we have, and arrests or investigations of the racially motivated --"  [crosstalk]
JEFFRIES: "Well, let me ask you about -- thank you. Let me ask about organizations. The Oath Keepers are a white supremacist organization, true?"
WRAY: "I'm not sure that I can characterize their ideology.”
