Republican National Committee to consider resolution condemning Kanye West, Fuentes and antisemitism

essentialsaltes said:

Republican National Committee members are set to vote on a resolution this week condemning not just antisemitism, but Ye, better known as Kanye West, and other conservative provocateurs who have made antisemitic remarks.

The resolution was filed by California national committeeman Shawn Steel, an Orange County attorney and past California Republican Party chair who said in an interview that he did not want a handful of antisemitic “nitwits” to represent the GOP.

Steel’s decision to urge his RNC colleagues to speak out against antisemitism follows Donald Trump’s dinner meeting last fall with Ye and white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

So far, 30 members — more than RNC rules require to advance the resolution — have signed on as co-sponsors, Steel said. He said he expects the resolution to pass unanimously at the RNC’s winter meeting this week in Dana Point, Calif., where the group of 168 Republican officials will also elect a chair.

I hope the vote is unanimous, but maybe we'll find out how many antisemitic nitwits are GOP committee members.

As your final comment shows, it doesn't really matter if they denounce such things in writing, publicly, or privately. As long as left wing media keeps saying it....left wing voters will believe it.

If you could name who and whom you’re calling “they”, that’d save a heap o’ time of me not asking you this question.

It passed by a voice vote.

The RNC also approved a package of nine resolutions on Friday in a voice vote. They included measures condemning antisemitism, opposing ranked-choice voting, calling for President Joe Biden to be held accountable for his administration’s handling of the U.S. border with Mexico, pushing for the U.S. to “shut down” any “Chinese police station” operating in the country and to broadly discourage the use of TikTok — including encouraging a ban on its use on federal government devices.
