‘Why I’m Voting for a Texas Democrat’

Karl Rove: “Republicans turned Texas red by fielding candidates who understood the strength of our state’s diverse population and welcomed voters who shared our conservative values.”

“The GOP has a growing number of Bo Frenches—and not only in Texas. Conservatism and the party it dominates have an increasing number of bigoted advocates of a ‘heritage America’ composed of white descendants of the original European settlers. There are ‘just asking questions’ Jew-haters, misogynists who worship hypermasculinity, conspiracy nuts seeking clicks for profit, and religious bigots who won’t differentiate between Muslim terrorists and Muslim American patriots.”

“These people are diminishing the Republican Party, not building it. I’ll have no part of it.”
