Va. GOP member resigns, renounces party citing anti-immigrant sentiment
WASHINGTON — A Republican activist and party member from Northern Virginia has resigned from and renounced the GOP, calling President Trump’s vulgar comments on Haiti and African countries “the last straw.”
Kyle McDaniel released a public letter of resignation, addressed to GOP Chairman John Whitbeck and Chair of the 11th District Committee, Paul Prados. In it, he describes what he calls the Republican party’s submission to nativism and anti-immigrant sentiment.
“I held my tongue for too long; hoping things would improve. I was wrong. I can no longer stomach those who support nativism, or their apologists and enablers. After a decade of work in the Republican Party in Northern Virginia, it is time for me to step away,” McDaniel wrote in the letter.
McDaniel joined the Virginia Republican party in 2008, and was elected to serve on the state party’s board of directors in 2016. In his letter, McDaniel describes trying to lead the Republican party back to “compassionate conservatism” and away from nativism with “racial and religious overtones.”
GOOD! The politicians are self deporting too.
