Do not watch their lips move. Watch their actions.

When your name is Nick Fuentes I’m not sure that you ought to be saying that America has to have a “White demographic core”. Though take it that he’s a Latino who is white.

Sounds like Gosar is riffing off of Scalise and his comment that he’s David Duke without the baggage. But if you don’t believe in their white racism then what subject are you addressing with them? That’s the part I’d like to know.

The GOP is out and proud in their racism now. They know their supporters and play to them. Not a winning proposition but they go with what they know.

I’m sure he went to try and talk them out of it…

“If America ceases to retain that English cultural framework and the influence of European civilization,…"
Last time I looked, Hispanic comes from Spain which is in Europe and Latino is the same, meaning Latin speaking countries again originating in Europe.

Paul, remember when your siblings got together and made a political ad saying don’t vote for our brother, he’s really terrible at Congress stuff? This kind of thing is part of what they meant. You don’t go speak at far-right nut job racist conferences in an effort to broaden your perspective and sharpen your debating skills. Fuentes is a Holocaust denier, dude. The reason you’re going is because you’re sick in the head. Get help.

Right now, these discussions of GOP themes, which, by necessity, are obliged to include bigotry and racism, are dangerous if they block out real chances to give the American Experiment one more shot.

If we cannot assert that there is a set of common themes (which transcend race and ethnicity) which unite us as Americans, we have handed the country over to Trump, the GOP and their thugs.

What does being An American mean?

“I want to tell you, I denounce . . . white racism,” Gosar said during a panel at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday. “That’s not appropriate.”

Maybe he meant racism against whites. Because that’s a real turn-off. To each his own Tiki-march, you dig?

CPAC is also proud to prove to the world that they are a white racist organization.

Hawley seems to think he’s already inherited the Earth since the GOP’s Second Coming of God fell back down to ground on 1/6/21 and crashed in a bloody insurrection. People only start making statues of you after you’ve been buried…by the actions of your “loyal” followers. They haven’t come to CPAC this year to praise him. They are there to pick thorough the bones and walk over his grave?

The upcoming grand juries will bury The Con Man the rest of the way.

The Trump Party is grasping at straws and can’t grapple with its growing failures. They are mired in white supremacy and stuck cleaning up the broken water and natural gas pipes in Texas. These events are fueling anger in red states across the nation, as voters see the same incompetent conservative policies being forced on them.

By all means, Hawley due walk in Fat Nixon’s footsteps.

They will tell you it’s not racism, it’s ‘ethnocentrism’.

“if it loses its White demographic core and if it loses its faith in Jesus Christ”

Wild gyrations rationalizing that line. Just wild.

“Asked whether he regretted attending the event, Gosar told the Post “you don’t accomplish anything by isolating” and refusing to address certain audiences.”

Fire Marshall Gosar attended the pyromaniac convention to discuss fire safety.

“I want to tell you, I denounce . . . arson,” Gosar said during a panel at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday. “That’s not appropriate.”

He then added “Bad pyros, bad!”
