Funny though, that white supremacists, anti-semites, and Nazis prefer the republican platform and reject the democrat platform. As David Duke remarked, "I just feel more comfortable in the republican party. That's why the Klan held a victory parade for Trump. It's why white supremacist Richard Spencer shouted "Hail Trump" and did a Nazi salute for him.
Steve King got republican party endorsements every year.
Hmm...
Jewish Voting Record in U.S. Presidential Elections
Apparently, Jewish voters are a lot smarter than you think they are.
Characterizing illegal aliens from Mexico as mostly rapists and drug dealers is indeed foolishly wrong, and racist. Calling an American citizen of Mexican descent as unable to be a judge "because he's a Mexican" is indeed racist.
The race card is the rightwinger's all purpose weapon to condemn anything they don't like and to shut down other's people's freedom of speech. According to the right, racism is calling people out when they act like racists.
While "white privilege" is also racist, it is given a pass by the right, because it's racism that favors them.
Probably because that's what he called it:
On Dec. 7, 2015, at a campaign rally in South Carolina, Trump read a statement, “calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”
Actually, no. It exempted the nations from which most of the 9/11 terrorists came. Turns out, he had business dealings with those regimes.
A Republican member of Congress apparently doesn't think being labeled a white supremacist should be such a bad thing.
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) asked The New York Times about the term in an interview published Thursday. "White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?," he asked.

At least King is man enough to admit it. And he's not trying to hide what his party stands for.
Yes, that's exactly what he said. No point in denying it.
Criticizing Israel, is not anti-Semitic. You just argued that a ban on some nations wasn't racist, and now you're swinging back and claiming mere criticism of a nation is racist. Maybe you should stop and decide what it is you believe.
So far, the only candidates who actually said anything racists against Jews were republicans. Would you like me to show you again?
Since he renounced his earlier beliefs, apologized to the people he had worked to harm, and tried to make amends for his behavior, I suppose that's why. Has Trump apologized for any of his racist behavior?
In 2002, Scalise, then a Louisiana state representative, attended and spoke at a convention of the white supremacist European American Unity and Rights Organization, a group founded by David Duke. You remember Duke, right? The Holocaust-denying former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan who has been described by the Anti-Defamation League as “perhaps America’s most well-known racist and anti-Semite.”
And yet he joins with them, and speaks at their meeting. Your argument is that he's a moron, rather than a racist? I'm not buying it.
You want anti-Semitism? Where to begin with Gaetz? He invited the notorious Holocaust denier Chuck Johnson* to be his guest at the State of the Union and later defended Johnson: “He’s not a
He has appeared on Alex Jones’s “Infowars” show. Jones has said that “it’s not that Jews are bad, it’s just they are the head of the Jewish mafia in the United States. They run Uber, they run the health care, they’re going to scam you, they’re going to hurt you.”

Other than invite him as a Congressional guest for the State of the Union address, and later deny that he's a racist. This is a guy who denies that Hitler killed millions of Jews. That's the kind of republican we have today. And you wonder why Jewish voters don't vote for your guys?
Show us that. You've been lied to, when even a cursory check would have shown that to be a lie. But he's Jewish, and so that kind of thing is tolerated in your party.
If you don't like it, clean it up. If you do like it, don't act surprised that Jewish voters don't want to support your party.
