This past weekend, the Republican National Committee caved to white supremacist and other hate groups by adopting a resolution titled聽Refuting the Legitimacy of the 澳彩开奖 to Identify Hate Groups.听

The focus of the聽聽is that 鈥渢he 澳彩开奖 is a radical organization鈥� that harms conservative organizations and voices through our hate group designations.

This attack on our work is an attempt to excuse the Trump administration鈥檚 pattern and practice of working with individuals and organizations that malign entire groups of people 鈥� immigrants, Muslims and the LGBTQ community 鈥� while promoting policies that undermine their very existence. It comes from the same vein as Trump鈥檚 claim that there were 鈥渧ery fine people鈥� on both sides of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

Simply put, it鈥檚 an audacious attempt by Trump and the GOP to paper over the bigotry and racism that has been allowed to infect their policies.

This resolution comes at a moment when Trump will argue at the Republican National Convention that he will combat hate and bigotry, despite聽. It also comes days after the indictment of聽, reminding us that Bannon was once the White House chief strategist and senior counselor and CEO of Trump鈥檚 2016 presidential campaign. And it comes just after our special investigation聽shined a light on One America News Network鈥檚 Jack Posobiec, a reporter at聽聽who is aligned with white supremacy and has used his platform to further hate speech and propaganda.

Trump should sever these ties to hate groups and extremists instead of doubling down through this RNC resolution.

The Trump administration has filled its ranks and consulted with alumni and allies from the Federation for American Immigration Reform, an anti-immigrant hate group that has ties to white supremacist groups and eugenicists. They include聽,听Kris Kobach,听聽and, most notably,听Stephen Miller.

The Trump administration has聽聽like the聽Family Research Council聽(FRC) to roll back LGBTQ rights. FRC was designated an anti-LGBTQ hate group for decades of demonizing LGBTQ people and spreading harmful pseudoscience about them. Over the years, the organization has published books, reports and brochures that have linked being LGBTQ to pedophilia, claimed that LGBTQ people are dangerous to children and claimed that LGBTQ people are promiscuous and violent.

Anti-Muslim groups have also been welcomed into the administration, including the聽Center for Security Policy (CSP).听Fred Fleitz, a longtime staffer, was appointed the executive secretary and chief of staff of the National Security Council. For decades, CSP has peddled聽聽that shadowy Muslim Brotherhood operatives have infiltrated all levels of government.

These extremists are seeking a license to continue spreading their bigotry and will do anything to undermine those 鈥� like the 澳彩开奖, which tracks and monitors hate groups 鈥� who expose their extremist views and oppose their attacks on communities. With this resolution, Trump and members of the GOP have shown the extent to which they will carry their water.

This past weekend, the RNC also released a resolution titled聽. It鈥檚 a remarkably transparent statement that hate and bigotry stem from Black Lives Matter protesters. The RNC and Trump did not denounce organizations that promote antisemitism, Islamophobia, neo-Nazis, anti-LGBTQ sentiment or racism. It only criticized the 澳彩开奖 for challenging those groups.听
