'Bigotry Has No Place in Society': GOP Pulls Support from N.J. Congressional Nominee
PJ Media ^ | July 9, 2018

Posted on 07/10/2018 5:18:11 AM PDT by SMGFan

The National Republican Congressional Committee pulled its support for a New Jersey attorney, radio host and pundit who posted an article calling African-Americans "a threat to all who cross their paths." Seth Grossman won the GOP nomination in the June 5 primary for the 2nd Congressional District seat vacated by retiring Rep. Frank LoBiondo (R-N.J.). The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is targeting the seat for a red-to-blue switch, and the party nominated state Sen. Jeff Van Drew to face Grossman in November. But now, the NRCC wants Grossman to drop out.

"Bigotry has no place in society -- let alone the U.S. House of Representatives," NRCC Chairman (R-Ohio) said in a statement. "The NRCC withdraws our support of Seth Grossman and calls on him to reconsider his candidacy. The people of New Jersey's 2nd District deserve an inclusive Republican candidate who will be a trusted conservative voice in Congress."

“Bigotry has no place in society — let alone the U.S. House of Representatives,” NRCC Chairman (R-Ohio) said in a statement.

Well, okay.
I guess he’s against “affirmative” action, the Congressional Black Caucus, Black History Month, quotas, etc. etc. etc. too -— right?

'Bigotry Has No Place in Society'

But yet we have anti-white laws, policies, diatribes and attitudes throughout this nation. The GOP by and large is toothless tiger when it come to this.

We also have multitudes of race based lobbying & political groups. i.e. the Black & Hispanic Caucuses, LaRaza, NAACP etc. Where is the 'Bigotry Has No Place in Society' crowd on this? Feckless AH's

” article calling African-Americans “a threat to all who cross their paths.”

Yeah, so what’s the problem?

I am sure he will drop out as soon as Maxine Waters resigns.
Does someone have a picture of the clown from Ohio with a sheep?

I GUARANTEE that quote is out of context. The Republicans just don’t want this guy. Let’s see if I’m wrong.

I read the article, and there were two passages:

"...Last month it was reported that Grossman, who called "diversity "a bunch of crap and un-American" at a GOP forum this spring, used his Facebook page to slam Islam, HIV-positive gays, Black History Month, and Kwanzaa, which he called "a phony holiday invented in 1960's by black racists to weaken and divide Americans during a Christmas season of joy and good will." The former Atlantic City councilman defended to CNN his "provocative statements for the purpose of provoking interest and open discussion on vitally important issues I believed were being ignored."

It depends on what he said about Islam and HIV-positive gays, so I cannot comment on that. But I don't take issue with his characterization of Black History Month or Kwanzaa. The problem there is that even though those things may be deserving of criticism (Black History Month/White History Month...what is the difference there...Kwanzaa, a fake holiday started by a felon who kidnapped and tortured a woman) going against the PC grain on it in a close race is not smart.

However, his apparent support of the statement "African-Americans are “different by almost any measure to all other people. They cannot reason as well. They cannot communicate as well. They cannot control their impulses as well. They are a threat to all who cross their paths, black and non-black alike" is simply racist. The guy is too dumb to hold office.

Ok he didn’t say it he shared an article. He did attack diversity and Kwanza as racist.

Of course it is taken out of context, but what the hey. It’s what liberal POS’s do. The RINO POS’s just go along to get along.

“However, his apparent support of the statement “

It says he wrote it under a psuedonym

I can agree with that. He's not "their boy". The RNC doesn't have much love for NJ. Thanks to that prick Ryan, they gave District 5 to the Dems because they wanted the seat for a moderate. They wound up with Gotheimmer (D).

Still the party of stupid at heart.

Stupid thing to say. Especially when Trump is making inroads in the African American community.
Trump pulls 10% away, and the Dems may not win another election.

Trump is getting people jobs, and that is the greatest social welfare program ever invented.

How much can be attributed to stopping the flow of illegal aliens into the work place?

Let Trump work, and America can be a better place.

He’s still better than the typical pro-communist, anti-white, unborn baby killing, Christian hating, environmental extremist Democrat.
