Astounding, isn’t it, that young New York Republicans still don’t get it: supporting Nazi-style slogans and celebrating the leader of Germany’s extremist AfD fundamentally reveals their racist beliefs and agenda. Politico reports that the New York City young Republican organization will be hosting and celebrating the leader of AfD at its upcoming gala. It is apparent that their view of the future of America is grounded in a hateful Christian nationalism and fascist nostalgia. The revelations from October about the mentality of the membership of the state-wide youth group in the leak of encrypted racist and anti-Semitic comments don’t seem to have changed anything. This is truly appalling and shameful. Is this where thoughtful and moral GOP leaders want to find themselves? Will the GOP devolve into a pathetic and dangerous version of AfD for America ? If not, it’s time to separate from racist extremism and reassert the values you can believe in.
