The Donald is getting the backing of the white supremacist crowd, and
the GOP from Priebus on down says nothing. Draw your own conclusion.
Let me offer some friendly advice to the Republican Party
that I learned firsthand as a Muslim American: You don’t want to be
defined by your most extreme members. And here’s a little more advice.
The longer the GOP leadership remains silent as Donald Trump garners
increasing support from white supremacist organizations, the more likely the GOP will become known as the party of racists.
I know, some of my progressive friends will say that’s already the
case. But that’s not fair. Sure there are racists drawn to the GOP, just
like we have seen psychopaths attracted to Islam. I’m sure not all
Republicans are racists and I bet some are even disgusted by bigotry.
We
are, however, seeing a bone chilling attraction to Trump by white
nationalist groups. It’s almost like they view Trump’s candidacy as
their last stand against the changing demographics of America. He’s
become the poster child for their philosophy that “White Lives Matter
More.”
