GOP not racist

On its 6 p.m. Aug. 26 newscast, WLEX-TV 18 ran a piece about the graffiti defacing the Fayette County Republican Party’s office. The segment included a clip of a man stating in an interview: “The Republican Party has supported white supremacy and white nationalism.” The fact that WLEX ran that clip, which was so unfair, untrue, divisive and inflammatory, is simply amazing. Then again, how could we expect anything less from an NBC affiliate?
