Republicans must renounce all enablers of white supremacy

It's not enough to reject hatred -- Republicans must denounce Donald Trump for enabling white supremacists. Co-sign Tom's letter to the Chairwoman of the GOP: I'M IN Pat -- When white supremacists and Nazis march in our streets, wearing swastikas and chanting racist slogans, threatening to burn synagogues and committing violent acts of terrorism, simply denouncing them does not go far enough. We must also hold accountable all those who embrace these elements of our society or embolden their cause. Donald Trump has allowed white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the Ku Klux Klan to find a home in the Republican Party. First through his silence in the immediate aftermath of Charlottesville and then with his words since, he has given them cause to feel empowered. So it is not enough for the Republican Party to reject their hateful ideology -- they must also renounce Donald Trump. Yesterday, I sent a letter to the Chairwoman of the Republican Party to remind her that her party has to not only reject the white supremacists but also the enabler they have found in Donald Trump. You can read the letter below, and then sign your name next to mine -- call on the Republican Party to join us on the right side of history and disavow Donald Trump: I'M IN As Democrats, we will keep fighting against racism and oppression in all its forms, and we will never stop working to lift up our Democratic values that make this country great. Thank you, Tom Tom Perez Chair Democratic National Committee Dear Chairwoman McDaniel, When we met in July, you said: "We have to have reasonable discussions, have a dialogue, be respectful of each other." In recent days, some of the least reasonable, least respectful members of our society have risen to prominence with a message of pure hatred. They chanted racist and anti-Semitic slurs. They wore swastikas, made the Nazi salute, and celebrated symbols of slavery and mass genocide. They instilled fear in our communities and they murdered a woman in a clear act of domestic terrorism. The leader of your Republican Party, President Trump, responded first with silence, then with begrudging condemnation, and most recently with words that embolden white supremacy. He tore open the scars of history while creating a dangerous false equivalency between those upholding racism and those fighting to defeat it. Madam Chairwoman, the white hoods are gone. They march in torchlight now, unafraid to show their faces. They see the president as their leader and fiercest defender. There is no denying that these white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the Ku Klux Klan have made their home in this president's Republican Party. As chairwoman, you bear a responsibility not just to reject hateful ideology generally, but to hold accountable the individuals in your party who have allowed that ideology to flourish. You bear a responsibility to stop Donald Trump. There are not "many sides" to the issue of white supremacy. There is right and wrong. Those who gathered in Charlottesville in the name of racism were wrong, and it is up to all of us to stand up for what is right. Will history remember your party as one that surrendered to a man who empowered neo-Nazis? Will history remember you as the chair who allowed white supremacy to spread with your party's blessing? Many of America's greatest heroes made the ultimate sacrifice fighting against the same evil ideology on the rise today. Party affiliation had nothing to do with it. If you share their patriotism, you should disavow President Trump now. Last weekend, the American people  --  Democrats and Republicans alike  --  saw the streets of Charlottesville flood with evil. They heard the bloodthirsty chants of bigotry. And they are demanding action. It's time for both of our parties to unite against these white supremacists and all of their enablers  --  including the president of the United States. Will you join us on the right side of history? Tom
