New Mexico Republicans to pay 'special tribute' to militia founded by neo-Confederate

alongside Cowboys for Trump leader who said Black athletes should 'go back to Africa'

New Mexico Republican party officials said they will attend an August 22 rally to register voters and pay "special tribute" to the New Mexico Civil Guard, a right-wing militia.

The founder of the New Mexico Civil Guard has a swastika tattoo and has served as the local "commander" of the New Confederate States of America.

Another leader of the group has called the Holocaust a hoax and, citing the conspiracy website Infowars, has argued that there is no such thing as a truly peaceful Black Lives Matter protest.

The rally will also feature the founder of Cowboys for Trump, who recently said Black athletes who protest racism should "go back to Africa."

Sounds like the Republicans are no longer the party of Abraham Lincoln much less even America.
