'We've lost the traditional values that Republicans have had: free trade, legal immigration and of course fiscal sanity,' Nebraska lawmaker John McCollister said.
Republican Nebraska state Senator John McCollister said he thinks that President Donald Trump has"hijacked" his party, voicing his fear for the country after GOP leaders condemned him for saying that the party had been"complicit" in racist activity and white supremacy.Morning Joe
"Donald Trump has hijacked the Republican party in Nebraska as well as in the rest of the country," McCollister said."We've lost the traditional values that Republicans have had: free trade, legal immigration. I'm afraid we've left our moorings and we need to come back to what the Republican party was in the past."
"You know, it doesn't make any sense to me at all," the state lawmaker replied."And I fear for the Republican party and America, the direction we seem to be going." However, McCollister said with some optimism that political parties"can rebuild themselves," expressing his hope that that would happen after the 2020 election.
The Republican Party is enabling white supremacy in our country.  As a lifelong Republican, it pains me to say this, but itâs the truth.
