Descendents have responded after former Oath Keepers spokesman Jason Van Tatenhove wore a shirt with their logo while testifying on Tuesday (7/12) in front of the Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol, Pitchfork reports. “We completely disavow groups like the Oath Keepers and in no way condone their hateful ideology,” Descendents wrote on Twitter.

Van Tatenhove’s choice of shirt drew reactions from many on Twitter, including Chris Gethard and Lee Bains:
Am I hallucinating that this Oath Keeper testifying before congress is wearing a Descendents t-shirt? I just had hernia surgery so this may be the painkillers.
