Hawai'ian Repub resigns from party after criticizing Trump.
"HONOLULU (AP) - A Hawaii lawmaker who says she was pressured to give up her leadership post at the statehouse after criticizing President Donald Trump resigned Wednesday from the Republican Party. Rep. Beth Fukumoto said members of the GOP refused to oppose racism and sexism including a suggestion by Trump to create a Muslim registry during his campaign. "As a Japanese-American whose grandparents had to destroy all of their Japanese artifacts and items and bury them in the backyard to avoid getting taken and interned, how could I not have said anything?" Fukumoto asked. "And how could my party have not said anything?" Fukumoto was voted out of her post as House Minority Leader in February after calling Trump a bully in a speech at the Women's March in Honolulu, saying many of his remarks were racist and sexist and had no place in the Republican Party." ------------------------- GOP: Gaslight Obstruct Project |

The winds are changing. I wonder if there is a party there who can accommodate someone who doesn't jump on the bully bandwagon and actually has a plan beyond the party of no.
