RNC chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel to white supremacists: 'We don't want your vote'

Source: ABC News

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel says there's no place in her party for white supremacists and neo-Nazis following a weekend of deadly violence at a rally attended by hate groups in Charlottesville, Virginia.

"We don't want your vote, we don't support you, we'll speak out against you," McDaniel told ABC News' David Muir in an interview on "Good Morning America" today.

McDaniel acknowledged that President Donald Trump may have been slow to single out the hate groups when denouncing them. Trump named the groups on Monday after initially making a controversial statement on Saturday that condemned “violence on many sides" in downtown Charlottesville, where white nationalists clashed with counter-protesters.

McDaniel also admitted that the deadly violence was initiated by the white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and members of the Ku Klux Klan who participated in the rally.

...when you chose this fucking monster to carry your standard and be your nominee.

You could have done things differently if you had wanted to, but the thought of controlling all of the United States government turned you all into collaborators and accomplices.

Fuck you, Roona. Fuck the Republican Party.

Let the news settle down and they'll chum right back up together.
The GOP prefers the white hood over the protests.

Even if these Republicans want to go along with saying that Trump did condemn the KKK, how can they explain the fact that he said there were some very nice people marching?

in many instances GOP does need some minori votes. Now they are lucky if they can even get 5%, not to mention losing many white votes as well. Words worth nothing anymore, all about actions/policies.

'We don't want your vote' --- cheap words - already got them.

"Trump "emboldened" the Nazis

America fought a war against the Nazis and supposedly won.

Yet here they are marching to "take back America".

" Michael Von Kotch, a Pennsylvania resident who called himself a Nazi, said the rally made him "proud to be white."

He said that he's long held white supremacist views and that Trump's election has "emboldened" him and the members of his own Nazi group. "

Neo-Nazi votes have ruined America's foreign policy/standing in the world.

9/10 self identified partisan Republicans voted for Trump.

The Republican Party is the New Nazi Party.

and elected politicians from her party who have strong connections to white supremacy and depend on their support for elections?

It's nice for Mitt's niece to say these things but I'll believe it when they start stripping party affiliation from these people
