PoliticusUSA: Iowa State Senator Becomes First Elected Republican To Leave GOP Over Trump Racism

[ailsagirl]

Johnson announced that he was changing his registration to No Party after Trump leveled accusations of bias at Judge Gonzalo Curiel, an American judge of Mexican heritage who allowed the release of some unflattering documents from a case against Trump University.

“I haven’t supported Mr. Trump at any point along the way but what I am calling his racist remarks and judicial jihad is the last straw,” Johnson told the Guardian.

Johnson compared Trump’s run for the Republican nomination to the rise of Hitler and said Trump won “by reducing his campaign to reality tv and large crowds and divisive language and all the trappings of a good show for those who like that kind of approach and that’s what happened in the 1930s in Germany.”

15. Right!

They didn't care when he was demonizing regular citizens, but go after a judge? Now it's not OK for his racist remarks?
Or attacks on women? What will they do when he starts his disgusting attacks on Hilary? Will That be OK because she's a Democrat?

[malaise]

4. Good for him, the rest need to do the same or they are endorsing Trump's racism.

Those who play this 'distancing' game are just supporting Trump backwards.

10. You have to wonder what happens at the convention if he keeps this up.

More and more delegates have to be wondering how voting for him might taint them. But if they don't they lose the racist base.

[CK_John]

12. He is just protecting his home court, now he doesn't have to vote against Trump in public.

[fbc]

13. Another future democrat to run against a real progressive.

[rurallib]

18. IIRC he is a really crazy right winger

Like way out there

14. Minnesota has the "Democratic-Farmer-Labor" party

Why not a "Republican-Manager-Capitalist" party?

[Kermitt Gribble]

19. Yay, another republican to push the Democratic Party further to the right.

20. Day late and a dollar short State Senator Johnson

Donald Trump is simply the "wet-dream" Republican candidate that your bankrupt party has been fertilizing for over 30 years now.

Repubs cannot be let off this easy! If you have an "R" after your name...YOU OWN "EFFING" TRUMP. You're his "effing" birth mother.

I don't know who this guy is, but I will bet "dollars to donuts" that he has done nothing in his entire political career to "change the tone", or work for progress.

Sorry Repukes, but every last one of you...from the Senate Majority Leader, to the Speaker of the House, to the Republican janitor that cleans your shit-holes, listening to Rush and Hannity and Faux New 24/7/365...are accountable for creating this prick, foisting him upon the American people, and putting him one computer tally code fuck-up away from the most powerful office in the world.

Save your self-serving "attack of conscious" for someone who gives a rats-ass. The only way you can avoid being tied to Trump is to completely divest yourself of all the hate your party has spewed over the last 3 decades.

In other words...don't just "change your party affiliation"...admit that you're to blame for Trump and RESIGN YOUR "EFFING" SEAT

Anything short of that is just claptrap!
