County GOP disinvites Scaramucci for calling Trump tweets "racist"
We know that the Post loves to print anything negative or anything that might put the president and Republicans in a bad light. I must admit, I was surprised that the local party Chair of the Republican Party, Michael Barnett, uninvited Anthony Scaramucci to its fundraiser. Republicans have always stood up for free speech as disgusting and deplorable as it is at times especially lately from the Mad Squad.Scaramucci said, "Would @realDonaldTrump ever tell a white immigrant, whether 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th generation to "go back to your country? No. That's why the comments were racist and unacceptable."
I happen to disagree with Scaramucci that the President's words were "racist." However, President Trump did light this flame at his rally in North Carolina and now wants us to accept his explanation that he struggled with the crowd chanting "'Send Her Back' The crowd was fired up. Why would the Republican Party not be honest here? As Todd Starnes said, “Send Her Back” Chant – It’s a Political Rally, Not a Church Service"
The irony is that the local Palm Beach County Republican Party rescinded Scaramucci's invitation as keynote speaker to their biggest Fundraiser of the year for giving an opinion, an opinion right or wrong, but invited Mark Foley, a gay congressman who was forced to resign from Congress for sexual advances and messages to young males who worked for him as Pages. Which is more egregious? An honest opinion or an actual dirty deed?

Everybody is too sensitive. I didn't think the Republicans were so Politically Correct. They might as well be Democrats.
Don't be too hard on Mark Foley; The Pages aren't children, and everybody ought to know how to handle themselves so they can withstand the advances of either aggressive men or women. We treat everybody like babies.
Some of the men who fought in our wars, i.e. when we used to win wars, were probably not as old as the pages.
Let's give it all a rest.
Mark Foley is an embarrassment.A Democrat who tried to masquerade as a RINO so he could get elected. Anyone sucking (some literally) up to him because of his MONEY are the kind of politicians that have screwed all of the tax payers over.I'm GLAD that Republicans are finally learning to punish their members that don't circle the wagons around their President. The Dems learned that lesson years ago. Another words, Repubs are finally learning(in the words of Obama) not to bring a knife to a gun fight!
Pretty hard to give it a rest when democrats don't.
Well, if you're going to act like a Democrat, you might as well become one.
As far as bringing a knife to a gunfight, it was hardly Obama who coined that phrase. Who cares about Mark Foley? Forget about it!
Wasn't it Vito Corleone who said: "Act Like a Man"?
I tend to agree with you. It's not cool to be racist at church service but at a political rally with your friends who understand you...totally cool.
Ben, what is it that you agree with?
I agree with Lynn, who quoted Todd Starnes in her post.
