The GOP . . . Proudly displaying their racism and bigotry on a daily basis.

georgialove0916 Let replace the term GOP with NAZI. It pretty much means the same thing now.

Well there goes religious freedom, did GOP forget one of our founding principles? I guess it only pertains to Christians. VoteThemOut

Modern day Nazis

Probably the same ones that wouldn't let Trump run as an Independent.

He looks like Rick Perry’s gay Muslim Brother

Is this a victim card at play?

CyrusToulabi This doctor has more intelligence and integrity in his toenail than that woman who wants him ousted. How enormously dumb would one need to be to believe that sharia law would ever take place in US and of all places TX. Dust off your burkas ladies. 😂

America is supposed to be ABOVE these petty things. However, HATE AGAINST Muslims is ALIVE & Well in ALL Body Politics, whether it's Federal or it's State. The Muslim Brotherhood, allies of Iran & Al-Qaeda, are the ones to KEEP Distance. They have no LOVE for America & West.

I can think of a third door option for this nan.

White. Christian. Nationalism.

Muslims? Are evil towards blacks, especially Africans & history has the evidence stating their terrorist acts on the men. In good conscience, I don't know any good Muslim, except LouisFarrakhan who's a Christ-like man.

Discrimination has many folds!!! I’m praying inclusiveness becomes contagious in the USA!!

Racism at its peak !!😂😂 What has his religion got to do with it!!!?

The left 'eats their own' for perfectly valid reasons like accountability and transparency. The right eats their own because of aversion to change and bigotry. The left is morally superior in these matters.

I honestly don't know how any minority or any one in the LGBTQ community could identify as a Republican. I'm not saying they should be Democrats but I seriously don't understand how they can align themselves with a party who does everything to marginalize them.

That's an interesting choice of words for a headline when in the article it says: 'Over the past week, the movement to oust Shafi has drawn loud condemnation from Texas GOP leaders'

Which is why the GOP will get smaller. They represent what they want, not what is reality in US population. If they really want to grow, must become more inclusive.

And with the leader of the Party wanting to ban all Muslims from entering the country....this is surprising to you?

More one-sided reporting

washing This is just part of the high Galleon dialectic to divide and conquer us to make us hate each other on basis of race religion Creed or other. Because when we are distracted in hate from the establishment this promotes your one-world government.

This is the US created by Trump and his racist administration. Any doubts?

Muslimes are a Terrorist Group that MUST SWEAR TO DEDTROY CHRISTIANS ESPECIALLY ,..AND ANY NON MUSLIMES

Well Shahid...you chose poorly as to party affiliation. Hate to tell you this secret...but the party you did choose, doesn't like people that don't look like and worship like them. Feel free to join up with the Dems...we'd love to have you...as long as the poor choices stop.

Of course the do. They are mostly racists. Diversity tarnishes the GOP brand.
