proposed ban on associating with Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers … might be a “slippery slope”

Banning members from meeting with Nazis might be a slippery slope to what, exactly?

roughly half of the board also tried to prevent a record of their vote from being kept.

HMMM???

They would be banning their own members. Why would they do that?

Republicans want all the bigots, racist, and fascist people to vote with them. They have the same agenda for America.

If you’re sitting at a table with nine others and a nazi and the other won’t condemn the nazi, you’re sitting at a table with ten nazis.

The Republican party is telling us who they are. We should believe them.

They’d have to replace too many party members if they banned Nazis, it’s an understandable move /s

Soooo let me get this straight. Boycott Israel bad but Nazi sympathy and Holocaust denial good? The Republicans are truly fucked up.

Is it possible to be too on brand?

Obligatory “tears for fears - the tipping point”

Is their money not green?

File under: I did Nazi that coming

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In a 32-29 vote on Saturday, members of the Texas GOP’s executive committee stripped a pro-Israel resolution of a clause that would have included the ban— delivering a major blow to a faction that has called for the party to confront its ties to groups that have recently employed, elevated or associated with outspoken white supremacists or antisemitic figures.

In October, The Texas Tribune published photos of Fuentes, an avowed admirer of Adolf Hitler who has called for a “holy war” against Jews, entering and leaving the offices of Pale Horse Strategies, a consulting firm for far-right candidates and movements.

Rather than calling for a break from Defend Texas Liberty, the faction proposed general language that would have barred associations with individuals or groups “known to espouse or tolerate antisemitism, pro-Nazi sympathies or Holocaust denial.”

The party’s internecine conflict has exploded into all-out war since the impeachment and acquittal of Paxton, a crucial Defend Texas Liberty ally whose political life has been subsidized by the PAC’s billionaire funders.

After Paxton’s acquittal, Defend Texas Liberty vowed scorched-earth campaigns against those who supported the attorney general’s removal, and promised massive spending ahead of next year’s primary elections.

The day prior, Sen. Bob Hall — an Edgewood Republican who has received $50,000 from Defend Texas Liberty — was also at the Austin hotel where executive committee members were meeting, and in a speech condemned attempts to cut ties with the group based on what he called “hearsay,” “fuzzy photographs” and “narratives.”
