The Palm Beach County GOP disinvited Anthony Scaramucci from addressing its annual fundraising event after the short-lived former White House spokesman criticized President Trumps racially charged statement that four members of Congress who are women of color should leave the United States.
He suggested the presidents comments were racist and that he was becoming a racist. Our board was infuriated, said Michael A. Barnett, the Republican Party chairman in the county, home to Trumps Mar-a-Lago winter getaway.
We believe the tweets were not racist, the president is not racist and that Scaramuccis comments were unfair, said Barnett, who is African-American.
Scaramucci couldnt be immediately reached. Barnett made his comments to POLITICO on Thursday morning after emailing Scaramucci that he was no longer invited to speak at the Aug. 15 event, called Lobsterfest, for the comments he has made against Trump since Tuesday.

Gets one disinvited? How thin skinned the GOP is becoming.
The truth hurts. Trump is turning the GOP into a Party of Hate.

especially if the reason for the disinvitation was that I suggested that Trump's comments were racist.

Anyone who has or has had a close relationship with Trump-Epstein is suspect.
