The Nebraska GOP had some harsh words Monday for state Sen. John McCollister (R) who accused his party of ” enabling white supremacy.”

McCollister said in a Sunday Twitter thread that he “refuses to be someone who said nothing,” urging his colleagues to “take a stand.”

The lawmaker has a history of bucking his party on issues like DACA reform and food stamps.

    The GOP should grapple with the issue … and stop the name calling directed toward those demanding that they deal with the issue on the table.

  3. NE GOP wants to boot McCollister for advocating higher taxes, restrictions for 2A and pro-abortion lobby in a time of back to back mass shootings.

    Greedy Old Party is a Pro-Life Hypocrite!

  4. I agree. McCollister should change his party affiliation.

    “You big meanie! You don’t like it? Then change your party to one that DOESN’T support racism, bigotry, and Nazis – see if WE care!”

    PS: “And we bet they don’t even like it when people use the N-word! Can you believe it?”
