'You're ok with racism in your party?' Republican pressed on CNN in tense exchange

Raw Story  

A MAGA Republican operative got testy with a culture critic Friday night on CNN when asked if he was ok with racism in the GOP. Marko Elez, who worked for Elon Musk-owned companies SpaceX, Starlink and X before signing on for a role at DOGE, resigned Thursday over questions about his ties to a social media account that promoted "racism and eugenics," according to the Wall Street Journal. “Normalize Indian hate,” the account wrote the same month, in reference to a post "noting the prevalence of people from India in Silicon Valley." Culture critic Touré lamented to panelists that in a world where diversity programs and critical race theory are "under attack," "we're protecting white supremacists and racists. Send him off into —" His flippant retort didn't sit well with Touré, who pushed back, "So you're ok with racism in you're party?"
