The Texas GOP executive committee has voted against a measure to ban members of the party from associating with Holocaust deniers and Nazi sympathizers. The clause was removed from a pro-Israel resolution, with some members arguing the words like “tolerate” and “antisemitism” used in the resolution were too ambiguous. The decision came after a previous meeting between a prominent state conservative and white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who openly praises Hitler. The removal of the ban has caused backlash, with many expressing concern about the message this sends.
The decision has sparked controversy, especially after a notable member of the party met with a white nationalist. It is concerning to see the lack of specificity in the resolution, especially as it was intended as an alternative to cutting ties with certain groups. While the Texas GOP did not provide a comment on the matter, the removal of such a provision has clearly sent a disturbing message to many.
