Hawaii Republican Leader Rep. Beth Fukumoto Officially Resigns From GOP
NBC ^ | March 22, 2017 | Traci G. Lee

Posted on 03/22/2017 7:06:19 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

In a letter to the Hawaii Republican Party on Wednesday, Rep. Beth Fukumoto wrote about the partisanship she saw from her colleagues on the right, which included criticism from her own caucus that she felt was due to her participation at the Women's March in Honolulu in January.

"This election, I saw members of my party marginalizing and condemning minorities, ethnic or otherwise, and making demeaning comments towards women," Fukumoto wrote in her letter. "So, when I listened as our now top office holder refused to condemn the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, speaking out didn't seem like a choice."

Fort Meade is NSA, right?

Know what it was before that?

It was an internment camp —for GERMAN-Americans.

Joe DiMaggio hailed from San Francisco, right? His Italian dad was a fisherman there right before WW2:

FBI impounded his boat for the whole war:

“Risk of contacting Axis submarines”.

Fukumoto should have taken the lead to say and do what she expected others to say and do. Conservatives need leaders, not blind followers. Aloha Fukumoto!

You ain't seen nuttin' yet!

Just wait till Puerto Rico becomes a state.

The push is already starting. All the Left has to do is to ensure the destruction of President Trump so that he doesn't get four more years.

Hawaii Democratic Party leader Tim Vandeveer says....

“Will give Fukumoto a fair shake. But he says some Democrats are concerned about her voting record on civil rights and women’s issues.....though she voted against same-sex marriage at the Legislature to represent the majority of her constituents. She said if she was voting on her own she would support same sex marriage.”

Important note:

‘She was asked to resign her post’ as House Minority Leader in February after criticizing Trump at the Women’s March in Honolulu..... She sought feedback from her constituents before resigning from the GOP.

Yup.
It’s the very good dope now growing in the Hawaians.

Visit Honolulu and you’ll see it.

Oh sure lady, we just ran around interring people for no reason. Besides charting the US and Canadian coastline and military installations for the Japanese, here’s a history lesson:

I’ve never been to Hawaii, don’t ever want to go there, and understand that yes, they have VERY powerful dope and idiotic dopers there. I also have less than NO interest, whatsoever, of EVER doing any illicit substance.

In her public statement it was clear she joined the republican Party to change it.....which made her a Rhino from the get go.

Important to know that Republican colleague Cynthia Thielen released a statement saying that...” Fukumoto was ousted as Minority House Leader by three members of its then-six representatives”......

Fuko in her statement...”I believe that when you pick a team leaving that team should be a last resort even when you doubt whether you should’ve ever been on that team in the first place. “......

She’s a feminist, diversity globalist snowflake....

Dumb as a rock, probable, or a set up to switch parties. It is Hawaii after all. The equivalent to the 21st century Bataan death March for a Conservative in that Welfare hell hole.
