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."

They do not teach the 2nd world war, nor Pearl harbor. It is every year 1964 civil rights, and how bad whites were, and Islam is a religion of peace..

She’s just another career politician....too young to do anything but climb the next step that suits her fancy. In business we call them social climbers....the “motive” is the same. Who ever can get them where they want to go...which ever side looks to their feeble minds will stroke their backs......

The Republicans kicked her butt out....Rep. Gene Ward, Rep. Bob McDermott and Rep. Andria Tupola led the vote of 3-2 to replace Fukumoto with Tupola on Feb. 1....

Translation- There is far more opportunity for graft in the Hawaii Democrat party. I’ll throw a bomb on the way out to build up my liberal cred.

She has certainly swilled down her popular versions of history.

Japs in Hawaii were NOT interned.

Plus Italians and Germans were interned, but they aren’t complaining and using it for grievance/resentment political purposes.

Finally there was that one little thing about Pearl Harbor, too.

"Puerto Rico is a crap hole".

But, like the deep-blue state of Hawaii was, PR is lush and verdant with future Democrat votes and future welfare recipients.

If it ever gets statehood, Puerto Rico would be our poorest state.

Off topic, but is it true David Brock has assumed room temperature?
In the meantime a swimsuit photo of Mz Fukumoto might ease my grief.
