A Spokane, Washington GOP leader says she feels duped after inviting a known member of a white nationalist group to speak at an event, wheresurprisehe did not denounce his white nationalist ties.
James Allsup is an alt-right YouTuber and a member of Identity Evropa, a whites-only youth group that marched during the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia last year. Allsup also won a position in his county Republican party in an uncontested election in June, The Daily Beast first reported. Immediately after the report, Republican groups disavowed Allsup. But some of those groups were quietly building inroads with Allsup.
Last month, Spokane County GOP Chair Cecily Wright and her husband hosted Allsup at a meeting of their local libertarian group, Right Wing Watch first reported.
After The Daily Beast reported Allsups election, Wright told local media that shed like to go punch the guy in the nose myself. But in private, Wright was more welcoming to Allsup. During a July 11 event with hosted by her conservative group Northwest Grassroots, she introduced Allsup has having been label-lynched. She played a clip of him speaking at a Donald Trump rally. Did you hear anybody that you disagreed with in the video? she asked the group. Absolutely not.

(15,333 posts)The Susan Collins Lifetime Achievement Award is awarded to the Retrumplican who can best PUBLICLY denounce racism, misogyny, white-supremacy, bigotry and fascism, while simultaneously PRIVATELY giving a proverbial "hand-job" to racism, misogyny, white-supremacy, bigotry and fascism.
The awardee must demonstrate the ability to
- talk out of their mouth and anus at the same time
- speak lovingly of "moderation" and "principals"
- maintain an expression of "grave concern" while casting a vote for EVERY DAMN racist, misogynist, white-supremacist and fascist policy
- show outrage and indignation when confronted about their support for EVERY DAMN racist, misogynist, white-supremacist and fascist policy
- demonstrate surprise every time someone they voted to confirm upholds EVERY DAMN racist, misogynist, white-supremacist and fascist policy
*Disqualifying factors for the award would be ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING BASED ON CORE VALUES OR DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPALS
