In this week's edition of "Yes, the GOP is the party of White Supremacy" we turn our attention to several R's running for higher offices.
Incumbent Duncan Hunter, a candidate for House or Representatives who is currently under indictment blatantly using campaign funds for personal use and blaming it on his wife, called his non-Muslim opponent, Ammar Campa-Najjar, a security risk and put out an ad saying that his campaign is being orchestrated by CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Brian Kemp, candidate for Georgia governor, is overseeing his own election in his current role as Georgia's Secretary of State. (How this outrageous conflict of interest is allowed to continue, I have no idea.) He has put voter registrations of more than 50,000 Georgians on hold over minor discrepancies documentation. Roughly 80 percent of them are minorities.
Republican incumbent Rep. John Faso from NY is being challenged by Antonio Delgado, a black attorney who graduated from Harvard Law and was a Rhodes Scholar. Faso is running ads portraying Delgado as a scary gangster rapper because Delgado made a socially conscious rap album 12 years ago that uses naughty language.
Ron DeSantis, candidate for governor in Florida, is running against a black man, Andrew Gillum. DeSantis is friends with a bunch of white supremacists (one group made robocalls in which they pretended to be Gillum and talked about things like mudhuts amid sounds of drums and monkeys.) He and people surrounding his campaign keep "accidentally" saying racist things.
“I do miss Nancy Reagan. Ronald even more. Speaking of Bedtime for Bonzo, I think even that chimp stood up straighter than Michelle,”
-Karen Housley, Republican candidate for MN Senate
