The hypocrisy of Republicans is astounding.

The hypocrisy of Republicans is astounding. There was a time where they were known as the party of morals and values—a title which was clearly self-appointed, but we are long past the days of the GOP as a party that possesses any shred of moral fiber. Rep. Darryl Issa (R-CA) is a good demonstration of this. After the violent rally in Charlottesville staged by white nationalists, Nazis and the KKK, Issa has asked Congress to investigate white supremacists and other hate groups. It’s noteworthy that it took the death of a white woman to make that happen since blacks, people of color and Jews have been saying this is a problem since forever. But, it’s also important that even though he wants Congress to have hearings on hate groups, apparently Issa is perfectly okay appearing at and speaking at them. In June, he made an appearance at a conference with an organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center has identified as a hate group and a white supremacist organization. In his letter, Issa called the KKK, neo-nazis, and white nationalists “repulsive hate groups” with “hateful, extremist ideologies.” “While Congress cannot legislate respect, decency, or acceptance of others, we have an obligation to use our platform to lead our country forward on these matters,” Issa said in his letter. But in June, Issa gave an interview at a conference put on by Federation for American Immigration Reform. In 1993, FAIR’s founder said, “I’ve come to the point of view that for European-American society and culture to persist requires a European-American majority, and a clear one at that.” FAIR is the organization that advocates for limiting not only undocumented immigration but also legal immigration. They aren’t interested in bringing any more folks to the U.S.—period. In fact, their current president, Dan Stein, said “Americans would be “perfectly fine” if there was not another immigrant for 50 years.” These people are literally the deplorables Hillary Clinton spoke about.
