It would be "Newsworthy" if a Republican group wasn't full of, gay-bashing, trans hate, Muslim hate, and immigrant hate.

Hate for minorities is what Republicans have always been selling, as long as I've been alive, which is somehow over half a century now.

What's hilarious is that you think selling racism is still working. LOL...

Republicans have been openly selling their racism ever since Obama's Birth Certificate, and it's working great for them.

Nixon used the "Southern Strategy" in 1968, which included code talk like "law and order" to get those black folks under control
Reagan used "welfare queens" ala black women as a foil
George HW Bush used Willie Horton

Trump? Too many to count
