Texas Republicans Consider Neo-Nazis and Holocaust Deniers Very Fine People

From the Texas Tribune:

Two months after a prominent conservative activist and fundraiser was caught hosting white supremacist Nick Fuentes, leaders of the Republican Party of Texas have voted against barring the party from associating with known Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers.

In a 32-29 vote on Saturday, members of the Texas GOP’s executive committee stripped a pro-Israel resolution of a clause that would have included the ban. In a separate move that stunned some members, roughly half of the board also tried to prevent a record of their vote from being kept.

In rejecting the proposed ban, the executive committee's majority delivered a serious blow to a faction of members that has called for the party to confront its ties to groups that have recently employed or associated with outspoken white supremacists and extremists.

In other words, Texas Republican consider neo-Nazis and Holocaust deniers to be very fine people.

While there is certainly an anti-Semitism on the far left including within elements of the Democratic Party, I can hardly take Republicans seriously on the subject of anti-Semitism if one of their state parties is giving the blessing to associate neo-Nazis and Holocaust deniers.

Of course, defeated former President Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar have all associated with Fuentes. Trump, Greene and Gosar are the role models of a great many in the Texas GOP.  

There is more:

The proposed demands were significantly watered down ahead of the party’s quarterly meeting this weekend. Rather than calling for a break from Defend Texas Liberty, the faction proposed general language that would have barred associations with individuals or groups “known to espouse or tolerate antisemitism, pro-Nazi sympathies or Holocaust denial.”

But even that general statement was too much for the majority of the executive committee. In at-times tense debate on Saturday, members argued that words like “tolerate” or “antisemitism” were too vague or subjective. The ban, some argued, was akin to “Marxist” and “leftist” tactics, and would create guilt by association that could be problematic for the party, its leaders and candidates.

“It could put you on a slippery slope,” said committee member Dan Tully.

What exactly does the Texas Republican Party consider too vague or subjective about anti-Semitism?

The Texas GOP might also find the word tolerate to be vague. But they are anything but vague when it comes tolerating anti-Semitism.
