Anti-Semitic Dweeb Elected Precinct Officer in Washington State

[TexasTowelie]

James Allsup—the former WSU College Republicans president who fawned over Richard Spencer while marching in Charlottesville, VA—wants to make the Washington State Republican Party a safe space for...well, let's see, what can I call his views without getting sued?

On a podcast for the white nationalist publishing house, Counter-Currents, Allsup said "a white America is a valid identity the same way a German or Swede or Norwegian is. We can’t be ashamed of our identities as white Americans because if we are we will constantly be looking to Europe…"

I'd call anyone who said those two sentences a white nationalist, but Allsup argues he's not a white nationalist, and so if I say "a white nationalist is now a PCO of Washington State," he may try to sue me and claim he's really just "American nationalist" or an "identitarian" or whatever. So I'm not going to call him a white nationalist. I will call him something besides a white nationalist. Before marching at the "Unite the Right" rally, he posted anti-Semitic nonsense all over his Facebook feed, as my former colleague Ana Sofia reported last year. And so I'll go with "anti-Semitic dweeb."

Anyway, those are the views Allsup wants to promote under the Republican banner in this state, and last week he took the first step. Kelly Weill has the story for The Daily Beast:

On June 2, Allsup posted a picture of a certificate on Facebook. “As of today I am officially an elected official in the state of Washington and Republican party,” he wrote. “Cool!”

The piece of paper certified that Allsup was now a precinct committee officer for the Whitman County, Washington Republican Party. Allsup’s certificate declares that he was awarded the post after his candidacy remained uncontested for four days.
