This past weekend, James Buchal, the chairman of the Multnomah County Republican Party in Oregon attended a white supremacist free speech rally in order to encourage participants to become active members of the Republican Party.
Previously, Buchal suggested that Republicans enlist the help of local extremist hate groups to physically protect them from liberals.
Does the Republican Party really want to stand for this kind of hate? By courting this specific demographic, it paints a scary picture for the future of the GOP and the country.
We call on Oregon's GOP leadership, specifically chairman Bill Currier, to denounce Buchal's attempt to radicalize the party with white supremacists by pushing him out of his county leadership position. Republicans are at a crossroads and need to take a clear stance in opposition to this dangerous extreism.
