Nebraska state GOP senator admits party is 'enabling white supremacy'
A Nebraska state GOP senator admitted that the Republican Party is "enabling white supremacy" on Sunday.
John McCollister, 72, who was first elected in 2014, criticized both his party and President Trump in a Sunday night Twitter thread.
"The Republican Party is enabling white supremacy in our country. As a lifelong Republican, it pains me to say this, but it’s the truth. I of course am not suggesting that all Republicans are white supremacists nor am I saying that the average Republican is even racist," he began. "What I am saying though is that the Republican Party is COMPLICIT to obvious racist and immoral activity inside our party."
He continued, "The time is now for us Republicans to be honest with what is happening inside our party. We are better than this and I implore my Republican colleagues to stand up and do the right thing," and proceeded to invoke Abraham Lincoln's legacy.
