Earlier this month, Congressman Tom Emmer (R-MN) blasted college students protesting Israel's military operations in Gaza. "By these students own admission, theyre not just standing in solidarity with this pro-Hamas, anti-Semitic movementthey ARE the movement," Emmer told the Washington Free Beacon. "Perhaps theyd be happier studying at Terrorist University before pursuing their careers in Gaza."

Now, Emmer and the other Republican members of Minnesota's Congressional delegation are being confronted with an issue much closer to home. Last Saturday, the Minnesota Republican Party formally endorsed Royce White, a former NBA basketball player, to be the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate. White was introduced at the Minnesota GOP convention by Steve Bannon, the far-right polemicist and former Trump advisor. Bannon has guided White's evolution from a Black Lives Matter protester to a MAGA Republican. In the process, White has publicly promoted deeply anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
In April 2022, White wrote on his Substack that "many of the Jewish people have lost their faith in a loving God," and their faith has been replaced by "materialism" and "a survivalist impulse that can give birth to the darkest of intentions and most grandiose effort for world control." In another rambling post published in September 2022, White said his criticism of Jewish people is not anti-Semitic because he is actually criticizing "anti-Jews." Many Jews, according to White, "joined the woke armies of globalists." These Jews, White said, became "globalists" because they "hate God" and "are enemies of all."
White defended Ye (formerly Kanye West) after the rapper praised Hitler in 2022. At the time, White criticized Jews for focusing on the Holocaust "to provide a victimhood cover for their own corrupt practices." White later praised Ye for speaking out against "the Jewish lobby." White also asserted that "[t]here is a group of Jewish elite, that tends to be secular in belief and corrupt in political practice." White has described Israel as "the lynchpin of the New World Order," a conspiracy theory that posits that elites are conspiring to create a global totalitarian government.

(17,288 posts)1. Amy Klobuchar will rip apart this candidate...
As she has with the others who ran against her with the FACTS.
Amy Klobuchar is well-liked and respected among Moderate Republicans such as former Gov, Arnie Carlson. Amy hits hard, but is always on topic.

From the linked article:
White also has a track record of making misogynistic and homophobic comments. In July 2023, White lamented that women have become too mouthy on an episode of Bannons War Room podcast. During the interview, White also complained about the insertion of women into the workplace, saying that women in the modern workplace have a history but are too preoccupied to look into the history. Online, White is also notorious for describing women as cunts.
In a Substack post from March 2022, White described abortion as [a] purposeful eugenics so successful it inspired the murderous 3rd Reich and baselessly claimed that abortions have led to the greatest genocide in the history of the United States of America. In another post, White declared that unviable fetuses are a lie. This is false. [T]here are several situations in which a pregnancy will never be viable, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology writes on its website.
White also holds extreme anti-LGBTQ views, arguing that [t]he LGBTQ movement is the brainchild of radical feminists and their cucked men. In a post from January, White calls the Guardian, the Washington Post, Mother Jones and the Star Tribune beta, cuck, fags (non sexual) and foot soldiers of the New World Order. According to the Daily Dot, White has used the word fag in at least seven posts over the last two and a half years. Personally, I am not anti-LGBTQ citizens; but spiritually, I believe it is in defiance of the natural order, which is Gods natural order, White wrote in 2022. White also regularly rants against the Church of LGBTQ, saying it has a pervasive effect on society and is out of control.

The GOP really knows how to pick 'em.

His own party should reject Royce White because he isnt pure bred. White supremacist have a problem with people who arent pure Lilly white. I would think theyd have a problem with Royce White!
White was born in 1991 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the son of Kevin Tucker and Rebecca White. He is of multiracial origin, with Mexican, Norwegian, Welsh, and African-American ancestry
These people are so full of hate. To have to look through their eyes in front of a mirror must be difficult. But they apparently love what they see.
May the god of their hearts become WOKE and knock some sense into them.
