If you were to accuse mainstream Republicans of being openly aligned with people holding these sorts of views, they would definitely say you're being unfair.

The issue is these guys let their words get leaked, rather than keeping it private as expected.

Ho-Lee sh*t.

They are racist, violent, anti-Semitic, pro-Hitler, homophobic, pro-Nazi, pro-rape, pro-slavery and more.

Plus the article names names.

A must-read, must-share article.

D’Angelo was a Richmond, Virginia legend. We knew him because he was from Southside and came up with my cousin. He sent a card over with his government name when my cousin was m*rdered. Just a stand up guy that was Richmond to the core. Sad to hear of his passing.
