She didn’t say that ALL Republicans are tainted by some.

I would guess then that any group that is republican could probably reserve it for a meeting or gathering, yes? Most places like that have to say yes to any request or risk being charged with discrimination.

I agree with Carpy, nice try at claiming all republicans are tainted by some.

Interesting that you had that take on her comment. I took it to mean that the Metropolitan Republican Club was extremists, not the whole party.

You asked why the MRC was hosting the group, not why the GOP was hosting the group, no?
The Metropolitan Republican Club is just a meeting place for Republicans in New York. They’re not an offshoot group of the GOP with different views, they’re a clubhouse for Republicans.

They’ve hosted plenty of Republican politicians and conservative figures - Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Mike Lee, Lindsey Graham, Ann Coulter, Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro and more:
http://www.metclubnyc.org/speakers.htm & https://m.facebook.com/metclubnyc/posts. If the MRC was an extremist group, why are these politicians going to their clubhouse and speaking to extremists? And if the MRC aren’t extremists, why are they hosting a far-right, violence endorsing hate group?

Outside of losing my mother and a brother in a three week period, there's nothing wrong with me. Let the crazies battle it out with each other.

Very sorry to hear that. :-(

The Metropolitan Republican Club is hosting far-right crazies because the Republicans are extremists? Interesting. Will you still vote for Republicans if they’re extremists?

I don’t have any problem calling out left-wing extremists. The personal attack out of nowhere is interesting and telling though.
nice try.
Nice try at what? You said “because they are extremists” in response to me asking “why is the Metropolitan Republican Club hosting a far-right group of “crazies?”?

The MRC is a gathering place for New York Republicans, who have hosted GOP elected officials and well known conservative figures. If they’re extremists, why are people like Ted Cruz and Jeanine Pirro going? And if they’re not, why are they comfortable inviting and associating Republicans with far-right crazies?
McGinnis is an extremist.

Yes, we agree on that. Then why is a Republican group/meeting place hosting this far-right crazy for a re-enactment performance of the murder of a Japanese socialist?

They’re defending the fact that they did so, i can’t find a single thing about elected Republicans or GOP/conservative groups condemning it. Certainly something to remember next time they try to call Democrats uncivil or violent.

A Republican candidate very specifically threatens Pennsylvania's governor: "I’m going to stomp all over your face with golf spikes" yhoo.it/2RLEfnK
