Think about what @WalshFreedom is saying

-Gosar speaks at Nick Fuentes AFPAC white nationalist event
-Skips Covid vote that day—writes letter blaming it on pandemic (lies)
-Speaks at CPAC (bizarre mention of white racism) CPAC ignores
-Meets AFTER with neo-Nazi Nick

GOP shrugs
Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom

Today’s Republican Party:

Friday night, instead of voting on a Covid relief bill, a Republican Member of Congress keynoted a white nationalist rally, and the Republican Party won’t discipline him or shun him at all.

Although Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar tried to distance himself from “white racism” the next day, there’s nothing ambiguous about the group that he spoke to on Friday night. AFPAC is a self-consciously white nationalist event.

AFPAC stands for the America First Political Action Committee and was put together by Nick Fuentes, an anti-immigration conservative who attended the 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville and last year was banned from YouTube for repeatedly violating its rules against hate speech. …

ABC News reported that Fuentes, the organizer, spoke after Gosar and told attendees that if the U.S. "loses its white demographic core, then this is not America anymore."

The Daily Beast said Fuentes said, "White people are done being bullied" and praised the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot as "awesome."

Exit take: Even though the GOP once stripped former Rep. Steve King of his committee assignments for asking why “white supremacy” was considered a bad thing, there is little or no chance that the Trumpified GOP will take any action at all against Gosar.
