McCollister says GOP, his party, is enabling white supremacy; Ricketts disagrees

Sen. John McCollister of Omaha, a Republican, has called out his party for "enabling white supremacy in our country" and called upon Republican members of Congress to speak up now.

"We have a Republican president who continually stokes racist fears in his base," McCollister said in a series of tweets.

"We have Republican senators and representatives who look the other way and say nothing for fear that it will negatively affect their elections.

"No more," McCollister tweeted. "When the history books are written, I refuse to be someone who said nothing."
