Neo-Nazi Senate candidate kicked out of California Republican Party convention

A anti-Semitic GOP Senate candidate was kicked out of the California Republican Party’s convention in San Diego Saturday morning, with one witness saying he was dragging and kicking an Israeli flag while being escorted out.

Party officials said from the outset of the convention that the candidate, Patrick Little, was not welcome at the political gathering.

“There's no room for that kind of hate speech that that man uses," said Cynthia Bryant, executive director of the California Republican Party.

In an recent interview with Newsweek, Little praised Adolf Hilter. His website is filled with anti-Semitic rants.

Trump "emboldened" the Nazis

America fought a war against the Nazis and supposedly won.

Yet here they are marching to "take back America".

" Michael Von Kotch, a Pennsylvania resident who called himself a Nazi, said the rally made him "proud to be white."

He said that he's long held white supremacist views and that Trump's election has "emboldened" him and the members of his own Nazi group. "

prefers their racism to be subtle enough that they can use plausible deniability if necessary. This neo-Nazi was laying it on too thick.

Really? There seems to be PLENTY of room for that kind of hate speech in the Republican Party nationally. Are we to assume that, as a Republican, Cynthia Bryant has never heard the name Donald Trump?

They shouldn't feign surprise and horror when some of them start running for office.
