So, independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin said this over the weekend:
We need a new conservative movement that doesn't care about color of your skin, that embraces you for who you are. https://t.co/Ilqd0IP6Lh

Oh, really? Is that so? Here’s a hint: Republicans and conservatives have never cared about the “color of your skin.” They are NOT racists. They are not homophobes nor sexist either. Are you toeing the lying media and Democrat line to pander? GROSS. And a dangerous perpetuation of lies.
History shows / will show that the Rep party.( the party of Lincoln has and will always be better for minorities

Yep. No, thank you.

UPDATE: Please do read all of this from Ace of Spades; Here’s a snippet:
It used to be that conservatives would say, correctly, that while there were of course racists (and criminals, and perverts, and any other sort of degenerate you can name) in the GOP, that is true of both political parties, and they tend to constitute a fringe in either.
And certainly it’s no reason to reject a political policy proposal simply because some bad elements support it as well.
White nationalists have resented “Blacks on Welfare” for ages. But so too have non-white nationalists opposed the growing welfare state, not just for blacks or any other nonwhite race, but for anyone, stating, correctly, that it’s unfair to take from one to give to another, and furthermore, work is a virtue and a teacher of virtue, and depriving a man or woman of the virtue-making habit of work is to consign him or her to a life of idleness and moral chaos.
We used to call people who said that “Republicans.”
Just think about that last line above. It seems to have changed now merely and simply to spite Donald Trump and to sneer at those who support him. Why? Some (not all, as we won’t paint with broad brush like many others do) #NeverTrumpers are spewing Democrat talking points aimed at Republican voters. Of course, some even claim they don’t want those icky, dumb voters anymore. If y’all honestly believe that every Trump supporter or reluctant voter (and, no, not “Trumpkins” or “Trumpers” or whatever new insult to use to “other” them) is a racist, a loser, a whiner, an uneducated idjit, etc. then here is what you need to do: Get off of Twitter once in a while and talk to some Normies (normal people). Please. If not, THAT will be what destroys the GOP.
Please the rest, even if you *think* you won’t possibly agree. It’s great.
