Republicans Really Needs to Stop Pretending That The Tea Party Isn’t Filled with Racists

"So, let’s see. The tea party just happened to get going right around the time our country elected its first African-American president, they’re extremely anti-Muslim (and anti anybody who isn’t Christian), anti-immigration, and the strongest conservative areas of this country are often the same areas of our country that opposed civil rights and desegregation.
But these people are trying to tell me that the party isn’t largely being driven by racism and bigotry?
If the Republicans who aren’t racist actually had any courage inside of them, they’d take a stand against the obvious racism that’s continuing to take over their party. Because that’s what the tea part is mostly driven by – ignorance, racism and bigotry."
