Republicans love to claim that they and their party are not racist and certainly not Nazis.
Everyone knows Trump is racist but I don't have enough tweet characters to get into him.
Let's check out some of the other fine people involved with the GOP this year..
<Thread>
Paul Nehlen is running to replace Speaker Paul Ryan. Nehlen’s too racist for Breitbart, Twitter, and even for Gab, the alt-right Twitter. I didn't even know that was possible.
John Fitzgerald, an anti-Semite running for Congress, has been appearing on neo-Nazi podcasts and claiming the Holocaust a “lie.” Fitzgerald has sent out robocalls to constituents claiming that Jews are “taking over the world” and “must be stopped.” forward.com/news/breaking-…
Seth Grossman, Running 4 NJ Congress, said "That is what is killing the African-American community, the idea that you can succeed without work, without achievement," he said "just because you can say, 'Well, my great-great-granddaddy was treated unfairly." nj.com/opinion/index.…
Incumbent Steve King of Iowa is drawing scrutiny after sharing a social media post from a British white nationalist who has described himself in the past as an admirer of Hitler’s Germany and a “Nazi sympathizer.”
Arthur Jones, running for Congress in Cali., boasted of his membership in the American Nazi Party. He is a holocaust denier. He proposes allowing communities to vote against the federal gov’s efforts to increase racial, sexual and religious diversity.
Russell Walker is a white supremacist running for the state House of Reps. According to his personal website (littered with the n-word), he believes that “the jews are NOT semitic they are satanic as they all descend from Satan.”
Corey Stewart is the endorsed by Trump, alt-right leaning, pro-Confederate candidate. After Unite the Right, where a white supremacist killed an anti-racist protester with his car, Stewart condemned his fellow Republicans for condemning Nazis.
Edwin Duterteis is a California Republican who has announced he will challenge Maxine Waters (D-CA) next year for her seat in Congress, is promoting his campaign through his paid profile on a social media platform tailored to white supremacists.
Dinesh D'Souza, shared a Tweet With #burntheJews and #BringBackSlavery. He is no stranger to controversy. He mocked the Parkland survivors and claimed them inauthentic.
These are just the ones making it very obvious. You see dog whistling daily from elected officials. See examples of it by checking out @RacismDog's tweets.
There are hardly ever any repercussions for these people. The party essentially shrugs its shoulders.
This can't stand.

Beto shows up. He goes everywhere in Texas to meet the people of Texas. Has Cruz? No. I made this video for @BetoORourke. Cruz went everywhere in Iowa. He cares about Iowa more than Texas.
Texas is fed up with mean-spirited politicians. Beto O'Rourke is inspiring crowds all over Texas because people know he CARES for them. It's time for new Texas leadership. It's time for Beto O'Rourke as Senator. #TXSen#BetoForTexas#BetoManiaread.bi/2QctM3I
Are you exhausted by divisiveness in public discourse? So is Beto O'Rourke. That's why his campaign is about inclusion & optimism. He will bring all Texans together, whether GOP or Democrat, to find common ground. #TXSen#BetoForTexas#BetoMania
Beto O'Rourke has visited and talked with people in every one of the 254 counties in Texas, without taking a dime of big PAC money. He will work just as tirelessly to represent the people of Texas in the Senate. #TXSen#BetoForTexas#BetoMania
..no man, no matter what office he holds [...] is above the law and that we will continue to pursue the facts and the truth as far as they lead and as high up as they go and there will be justice and accountability and there will be a reckoning.

Everyone is pretty aware that Ted Cruz is a liar but lets point out the lie in something he is talking about lately. Yard signs.
There are not many Cruz yard signs in Texas. They claimed to not have yard signs, to not like yard signs, etc..
Is it true? No.
Here is one excuse:
"I hear that all across the state, and there are a lot of Beto O'Rourke signs that are out there," Cruz replied. "And the reason is they invested big, big dollars early on."
