Some Republicans criticize Trump for meeting with white supremacist
Source: Reuters
WASHINGTON, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Some Republicans on Sunday criticized Donald Trump for dining with white supremacist Nick Fuentes at the former president's Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida, even as Trump said the encounter was inadvertent.
Arkansas Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson accused Trump of empowering extremism.
"I don't think it's a good idea for a leader who's setting an example for the country or the party to meet with an avowed racist or anti-Semite," Hutchinson told CNN.

"Some Republicans". Not even half of the Republicans or most Republicans, much less almost all Republicans.
They still have yet to acquire a backbone much less a commitment to civil rights, the Constitution, Democracy or the American people.
And even the criticisms are qualified. As Hutchison said "I don't think it's a good idea..." not "It was a terrible thing to ..."
Maggots, Weasels and cowards.

The Republican Party is a radical rightwing authoritarian political party, or more simply: it is a fascist political party.

Jaywalking isnt a good idea. Eating too much pie isnt a good idea. Internet shopping while drunk isnt a good idea.
Dinner with a despicable white supremacist Holocaust denier hits falls more into the appalling and evil category of things not to do.

(90,740 posts)They don't care. This newfound angst is nothing but them hoping to quash the blatant racism and bigotry and getting candidates to go back to code words and subtle dog whispers.
It's not the white supremacy that bothers them. It's the type doing the promotion of it that bothers them. They want a "kinder gentler" face for it.

Three.
Here's a better headline: Hundreds of Republicans in Congress, the Senate and State Legislatures Are Silent on Trump's Hosting an Avowed Anti-Semitic Nazi Holocaust Denier for Dinner at Mar-a-Lago"
