THE LATEST: RNC RESOLUTION CONDEMNS WHITE SUPREMACISTS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) --
12:25 p.m.

The Republican National Committee has unanimously approved a resolution denouncing white supremacist groups without criticizing President Donald Trump, who waffled in his own statements in the wake of the deadly clash in Virginia this month.

The resolution asserts, "Nazis, the KKK, white supremacists and others are repulsive, evil and have no fruitful place in the United States."

While the vote was unanimous, some members had grumbled that the resolution was unnecessary and suggested the party reflected unnecessary defensiveness.

But the resolution was a priority for Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel, who said condemning violence was an American issue, not a Republican or Democratic one.

2. Crocodile Tears.

3. So, they support a racist as President and as their party leader

omfg

[ToxMarz]

6. They support the dream of a tax cut

and a President with enough working digits to sign the legislation.

Mavis Wanczyk had a pipe dream too, and look how well that worked out for her!

4. Yeah, OK, 😫 but what about all the Republicans in Congress?

This is photo op, a staged event that can be exploited for fundraising, but keep in mind that this is just the RNC and they don't pass any laws. I don't expect to see any elected Republicans actually condemn Nazis, the KKK, or white supremacists because those are their voters.

5. "Fruitful" place?????

WTF???? Which evangelical wrote this???

[bucolic_frolic]

7. Did they disown their President?

No? *Yawn*

[mdbl]

12. my first thought too, was Trump condemned?

no? so what else is new?

[Julian Englis]

8. I'm confused. Is the RNC condemning other white supemacy groups or is it including itself?

It seems like they're making an exception for themselves.

11. Like all racists

the repugnants do not recognize their own racism, but that doesn't preclude pointing a bony finger at others when it serves their agenda.

[pangaia]

10. What it really means is this...

"The resolution asserts, "Nazis, the KKK, white supremacists and others are repulsive, evil and have no fruitful place in the United States."

"But they sure can help us win elections,, Heh Heh!"
