And just in case people think shit like this only happens in red states: the last Republican gubernatorial candidate here in Washington met with the white supremacist group, the Constitutional America and Peace Officers Association. We also had a state representative who met and funded groups pushing for a Christian nationalist state and was referred to the FBI for ties to terrorism. He won several elections despite being clearly being a wife abusing fascist. He eventually left on his own accord and began trafficking Ukrainian children in Poland.
