Days after GOP Reps. Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared at an event organized by a white nationalist, Republican party leaders are condemning them for attending.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell released a statement Monday criticizing white supremacist hate.
"The party should not be associated any time any place with somebody who is anti-Semitic...This is unacceptable," he added. McCarthy, however, has previously said he would restore their assignments if Republicans take back the House in November. Republican Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, when asked about Greene's behavior Monday, also condemned the event but stopped short of condemning her members.
The criticism follows recent comments by former President Donald Trump, who continues to praise Putin. During an interview with the conservative radio show"The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show" on Tuesday, Trump labeled Putin's tactics"genius" and"savvy." Trump ultimately slammed the invasion on Saturday night at the Conservative Political Action Conference but called Putin"smart.
