me, me, me
It was as if the entire Republican establishment in Arizona had fallen victim to steam, clutching pearls, and horribly nearly passed out.
After recovering, they revived and revived. flatly condemned the fact Three Arizona Republican county parties were reportedly involved in an event called “Arizona College Republicans United” featuring white supremacist anti-Semite Nick Fuentes as the centerpiece.
The Maricopa County Republican Commission issued a statement, saying it “never endorsed, sponsored, or promoted the upcoming July 30th College Republican Convention.” Placing things like “MCRC” or “Maricopa GOP” on anything related to CRU events is not allowed. thank you. “
Republicans in Pima County followed suit.
“College Republicans” like Nick Fuentes
The Yavapai County Republican Commission similarly stated, in part, “We have not granted permission to use our name in marketing materials for College Republicans United,” and added, “The Yavapai Republican Party has no jurisdiction over any city or county.” We are also against anti-Semitism in With states and nations, with Jewish members and neighbors. ”
Yes, of course, we all understand that these good people don’t want to get involved with Holocaust deniers, racists, and other not-so-good things.
But those “college Republicans” seem to like him.
And so have some of Arizona’s most prominent Republican politicians.
So are Gosar and Rogers.Republicans like them
For example, Republican State Senator Wendy Rogers spoke proudly at Fuentes’ America First Political Action Conference in Florida last year, where she White supremacist “Patriots” in attendance and promoted the suspended enemy.
And Republican US Congressman Paul Gossar also attended Fuentes’ event, defending Fuentes on the right-wing social networking site Gab, stating that “the partisan witch hunt by the bogus January 6th Commission is what they are aiming for.” It’s been decided and it’s still going on,” he said. About young conservative Christians like Nick Fuentes. This is pure political persecution and must be stopped. @realnickjfuentes”
Republican Rep. Andy Biggs, like Gosar, refused to sign a pledge denouncing “white nationalism and white supremacy” and the strange but widespread “great reshuffle theory” of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. You may remember being one of the 26 members of ‘ and that non-housewives are being brought to the United States to replace white voters.
And then there’s the state’s most high-profile Republican congressman, the defeated gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake. Not only did she support Gosar, she said of him:Congressman Gosar is “GOAT”. We need strong America First Patriots like Gosar at every level of government. ”
Kari Lake, Republican Speaker Like Fuentes’ Fellow
And remember when Lake thrashed the “McCain Republican Party”?
In the same remark, she expressed admiration for Mr. Rogers (whom she also endorsed), saying: get out! It was McCain’s party. It was bad. Arizona had some losers. But there are also winners. We have Wendy Rogers…the toughest woman I know.we have There are many heroes like Wendy here in this state. ”
And what about the new Arizona Republican Party chairman, Jeff DeWitt?
He happily shared the stage with Rodgers, reportedly “his introduction and Praise for Arizona Senator Wendy Rogers caused a thunderous applause. ”
So while Republican lawmakers in Arizona have professed how deeply infuriating it is to be associated with Nick Fuentes in any way, many of the most high-profile lawmakers are also associated with him. It is said that there is
proudly.
These are people who rose to high-profile positions after being elected by other Republicans, and they clearly have no problem getting along with them.
So squeal as much as you like.
But if it looks like Fuentes, walks like Fuentes, pretends like Fuentes, it might be… a white supremacist.
