SPOKANE, Wash. – Effective immediately, Cecily Wright resigns as Chair of the Spokane County Republican Central Committee. Vice Chair Isaiah Paine becomes Acting Chair.

Cecily Wright issued the following statement:

“I profoundly apologize for giving James Allsup a platform to speak at the Northwest Grassroots meeting in July. I consider this a serious mistake in my judgment and I deeply regret that decision.

“The Spokane County GOP remains committed to standing against white supremacy, racism, and bigotry in all forms. We will always support a free society where individuals are judged on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.

“At this point, I do not believe that I can continue as Chair and resign the position effective immediately. It is my sincere hope that our community can continue to build bridges, support our neighbors, and build a more unified community in Spokane and across Eastern Washington.

James Allsup has a Youtube channel. He is a libertarian type, although the wikipedia describes him as "alt-right". I don't know who this Spokane lady is but she seems to be slandering Allsup with veiled hints of "racism" etc. I've never heard this guy say anything racist. The lady was involved with the GOP but you can well imagine what passes for the GOP in the Pacific Northwest.

Alsup is a member of Identity Evropa which was one of the groups behind Charlottesville. Their FAQ is enough to raise concern.

From SunkenCiv's article in #5

"Most recently, Allsup has been affiliated with a group called Identity Evropa, which promotes a vision of America dominated by white people and is classified by the Anti-Defamation League as a white supremacist group. He and other members of the group openly advocate a strategy they call “entryism,” meaning they should infiltrate old establishments like the Republican Party to spread their message."

Huh? FReepers exposed “the group behind Charlottesville’ as being State Dept. employees under Obama/Hillary, as well as people working for CNN...

in other words, Charlottesville was exposed on FR as a hoax.

So who are those people claiming to have been behind Charlottesville but more Deep State actors?

Sounds like GOPE hoaxing and shenanigans.

You've missed the point of my post.

While the left takes advantage of white supremacy to attack the right, it still exists. The right gets so used to being called racist we forget white supremacy has its own goals separate form Democrat-Republican politics. Modern white supremacy is trying to become mainstream by entering the GOP.

You’ve missed the point of my post.

We live in the age of the Uniparty, which means people who pretend to be one party are hoaxing us by whatever means necessary for their globalist, anti USA goals.

That’s what we mean when we say someone is GOPE or Uniparty. They are hoaxing us. Like John Roberts who gave us Obamacare.

On the so-called Left wing of the Uniparty, the proven State Dept employees and former Occupy people and former CNN reporters were identified as being the perpetrators of the “alt Right” racists at Charlottesville. Right here on FR they were outed.

So who are and what is the organization you are referring to, but more State Dept. (Deep State) actors? Nothing but a media concoction.

Believe me, this racist alt right meme was the first meme that came up when Trump was elected and it was bunk then and bunk now. All this rigormoralle you are referring to sounds like more Deep State hoaxing.

Do research on Hegelian conflict.
