Finally, a Republican in office denouncing his party for being complicit in racist and immoral activity within the party.
Fuck yeah, it's about damned time someone from within calls the party out. Yes, it's only a state senator but it has to start somewhere. Good on him for stepping up and being willing to take the heat for speaking the truth about the Republican party.
In other good news, a majority of House Democrats support starting impeachment proceedings.
Senator McCollister
@SenMcCollister
The Republican Party is enabling white supremacy in our country. As a lifelong Republican, it pains me to say this, but it’s the truth. I of course am not suggesting that all Republicans are white supremacists nor am I saying that the average Republican is even racist.
...
We have a Republican president who continually stokes racist fears in his base. He calls certain countries “sh*tholes,” 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. 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.

May the rest of them see the light real soon. I'm hoping that Felonious D is having sleepless nights as this shit ramps up on him. I hope he doesn't stroke out as I want to see him brought down low, same with the Republican party.A majority of Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives now favor launching impeachment proceedings against Republican President Donald Trump, after a California lawmaker on Friday became the 118th Democrat to call for the process to begin. “In the past few years, our nation has seen and heard things from this president that have no place in our democracy,” Representative Salud Carbajal said in a statement that accused Trump of “criminal” behavior.
“I believe it is time to open an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump,” Carbajal said.
