Grahamnesty gets censured by SC GOP group

From Greenville, SC:

Sen. Lindsey Graham defended his conservative credentials today in the wake of Monday night’s censure by the Greenville County Republican Executive Committee.

The panel, made of representatives from each of the county’s precincts, censured Graham for continuing “to adamantly support legalization of illegal immigrants in spite of thousands of communications of ‘strong opposition’ from local grassroots Republicans.
…
The resolution, adopted late Monday night by the committee, also censured Graham for having “expressed contempt” for conservative activists in comments made to a Hispanic civil rights organization.
…
Samuel Harms, county GOP chairman, said told The Greenville News the Graham resolution “shows that the grassroots conservative activists of the party are thoroughly fed up with Lindsey Graham and his statements that we are bigots who will be told to shut up because we do not support amnesty for illegal immigrants.”

He referred to remarks attributed to Graham at the annual meeting of the National Council of La Raza, a Latino civil rights and advocacy organization.

Calling La Raza a “Latino civil rights and advocacy organization” is like calling the National Organization for Women “a group of heterosexual females with no anti-male agenda”. It’s quite disingenuous.

“La Raza” is Spanish for “the race”, and not “race” as in “marathon.” They are a Latino supremacist group, pure and simple. And Lindsey Grahamnesty pandered to them while pursuing his criminal alien amnesty plan, telling La Raza that “We’re going to tell the bigots to shut up.” Grahamnesty is now seeing just what his constituents think of being called a bigot.
