Two Hispanic Republican figures have recently cast a stark light on the partys issues with racism. Their public critiques have echoed what many outside the GOP have asserted for yearsthe GOP is the party of white supremacy.
For Democrats and numerous observers across the political spectrum, the accusations of racism within the Republican Party are not revelatory; they are confirmations of a troubling pattern many have witnessed and opposed for decades. That members from within the GOP are now giving voice to these concerns lends a notable credibility to the issueits a moment of truth-telling from insiders who can no longer reconcile their identity with the dissonance of their partys rhetoric and actions.
Over the weekend, Congressman Tony Gonzales (R) took to CNN to lambast his Republican co-workers and his Republican opponent as Neo-Nazis and Klansmen.
