| Subject: Good: Some GOP lawmakers face backlash for bucking the party Tue Aug 06, 2019 10:10 pm | |
| Nebraska state Sen. John McCollister was disappointed but not terribly surprised when he read a press statement that the state Republican Party wanted him out. McCollister, a Republican for five decades, gained national attention Monday when he blasted party officials for " enabling white supremacy " following this weekend's mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, and allowing President Donald Trump to "hijack" the GOP platform. He joins a group of elected officials who have either left the GOP or been ostracized by party leaders after publicly criticizing the president and Republicans who support him. In a press release Monday night, the Nebraska Republican Party urged McCollister to "tell the truth about his partisan views" and register as a Democrat.
