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.

The Democrats never seem to have these sorts of idiots. They have idiots, just not the sort that tries to backstab their entire party.

Will someone please tell me what the hell “white supremacy” is? I can’t even begin to express how sick and disgusted I am seeing that term tossed around without definition or context.

To say nothing of the approximately 3000 killed on 9/11/01,or is it only shootings that qualify as “mass” killings?

ACU indicates he is a left-winger, about 60% lifetime left-wing vote from the ACU. Nebraska’s leg is non-partisan and has a lot of RINOs in it.

White terrorism, blame every white person. White Southern terrorism, blame Southern history along with every white Southerner. Muslim terrorism, its a religion of peace, don’t be quick to judge. Black mass crime, refuse to identify the criminals and call someone racist if they dare mention the demographics of crime. It’s America today.

"The Republican Party is enabling white supremacy in our country

Complete and utter nonsense.

The democRAT Party, however, IS enabling black supremacy and white demonization.

It is very dangerous. Minorities are going to see it as a green light to retaliate.
Only problem is now more people will be carrying with or without a ccw.

A white supremacists believes his race (white) is superior. Hispanics are from Spain. White Europe. This was a national border issue. Hence the reason he travelled to the border to commit the act.
