GOP Lawmaker Says Trump Is Enabling White Supremacy

Nebraska state Sen. John McCollister (R) called out President Trump and the Republican party for “enabling white supremacy,” the Washington Post reports.

Said McCollister: “We have a Republican president who continually stokes racist fears in his base. He calls certain countries ‘shitholes,’ tells women of color to ‘go back’ to where they came from and lies more than he tells the truth. We have Republican senators and representatives who look the other way and say nothing for fear that it will negatively affect their elections.”

He added: “No more. When the history books are written, I refuse to be someone who said nothing. The time is now for us Republicans to be honest with what is happening inside our party. We are better than this and I implore my Republican colleagues to stand up and do the right thing.”
