Republican state lawmaker criticizes his party for 'enabling white supremacy'

A Republican state representative is speaking out against what he believes is his own party's complicity in "enabling white supremacy," and says history won't judge his fellow Republicans kindly.

Nebraska state legislator Rep. John McCollister tweeted Sunday night, "The Republican Party is enabling white supremacy in our country. As a lifelong Republican, it pains me to say this, but it's the truth."

The Twitter thread came one day after a white supremacist killed at least 20 people in El Paso, Texas. The criticism came as some politicians began pointing to the rhetoric from the Republican Party and the current administration as a contributing factor for the violence.

Agreed - F this guy.

Defense of the US and her laws and borders is not white supremacy. Blocking illegal immigration increases employment need which SHOULD lead to higher black employment but this twit doesn’t seem to want that - wonder why.

For real. If they keep talking “white supremacy”, they might just get some.

It’s the agreed slander/codeword they use to describe the republican-nationalism tradition that this country was founded to establish and the people want to see restored and respected.

The “supremacy” thing comes right out of the Communist playbook. It’s a flat lie.

Take your white quilt and shove it where the sun don’t shine. I feel no quilt or superiority in being born a light skinned human being with intelligence and morality and a good sense of right and wrong.

It’s been said if you want to know where the Republicans will stand in 10 years, look at the Democrats now.

That timeline is rapidly shrinking.

George P. Bush and Ted Cruz both jumped on this bandwagon.

He appears to be a Chamber of Commerce Republican from Omaha, undoubtedly highly resentful that his buddies have to pay real wages in a tight labor market.
