McConnell Says, 'No Room' For Antisemitism, Racism In GOP - MSNBC Reports



Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell condemned antisemitism and white supremacy just days after former President Trump hosted dinner for Ye, and white supremacist Nick Fuentes. McConnell said, “Anyone meeting with people advocating that point of view, in my judgment, are highly unlikely to ever be elected president of the United States.” - Aired on 11/29/2022.

5. He is a liar. In the 1950's the GOP was split between the Eisenhower/Rockefeller supporters

and the John Birchers - the John Birchers won out. Since then the GOP has embraced extremists views and it has gotten even more extreme with the likes of Donald Trump, QAnon, the Proud Boys, and Marjorie Taylor Greene and on and on.

Until people stop supporting these disgusting assholes then our very existence as a democracy is in jeopardy.

the GOP is a haven for hate...where was Mitch's condemnation of intolerance when his ex-bestie Trump was separating families/caging babies/the Muslim ban/shit hole countries/Charlottesville ("fine people on both sides&quot /teargassing BLM protestors/'Pocahontas"/praising Hitler/disparaging the disabled/Hong Kong flu*China virus?...and when Mitch had the chance to rid us and his party of Trump (impeachment #1) he voted no..and now Mitch says there is no place in the GOP for antisemitism and white supremacy..what a fucking hypocrite!!!

8. What McConnell means is there is no room for blatant public racist or antisemitic statements.

Trump took the not-out-loud GOP hatred for "the other" into the Oval Office and legitimized it...Trump's four years was about in-your-face hate and revenge..Blacks, Hispanics, Jews, Muslims, Asians, Native Americans, LGBTQ, the disabled...now the GOP wants to shove the hate genie back in the bottle..too late, assholes...
