“I always tell em if they don’t want us to call them racist, they shouldn’t be racist. Despite what many conservatives, we don’t believe all conservatives are racists but I certainly do believe American conservative ideology lends itself to racism more easily than American liberal ideology.”

When a member of Congress like Steve King makes openly racist comments and they say nothing, or say something mild like, “I don’t agree with him,” what is America to think about GOPers and racism? I say they support it because they aren’t responding strongly to someone who is a member of their party and a member of Congress. One doesn’t have to explicitly express racist sentiments to be a racist. For me, a part of being a racist is not objecting to racist things others say in your party’s/country’s name.
