One Year Later: GOP's Campaign For African American Members

 

A year has passed.

Anybody notice a significant increase in the number of black Republicans in Alabama?

ALGOP Launches Minority Outreach Team

The Alabama Republican Party will announce and introduce the leadership of its new Minority Outreach Team at a press conference at ALGOP Headquarters (3505 Lorna Road, Birmingham, AL 35216) today at 11:30 a.m.

Leadership from across the state will be present. Among those speaking will be State Representative Kenneth Paschal (HD-73 Shelby County), who made news this summer when he became the first Republican African-America elected to the Alabama Legislature since Reconstruction.

"Kenneth Paschal’s historic victory is just the beginning for Republican African-Americans in the State of Alabama. I am here to tell you that the Alabama Republican Party is proud to support and encourage minorities, and I am looking forward to introducing the public to such an outstanding group of public servants and activists," said ALGOP Chairman John Wahl.

He continued, "The Democrat Party wants you to believe that all minorities share their liberal views, but we are going to challenge that false stereotype. There are thousands of conservative people in minority groups across this state, and they deserve to be recognized. This Thursday, they will be.”

Immediately following the press conference, the committee will hold its first meeting.

Media Advisory October 21, 2021      ================================================================== Of course the GOP isn't helped when one of its stars makes racial remarks like Tommy Tubberville:   "The Democratic party, they have a majority, they could stop this crime today. Some people say, well, they’re soft on crime. No, they’re not soft on crime, they’re pro crime. They want crime. They want crime because they want to take over what you got. They want to control what you have. They want reparations because they think the people that do the crime are owed that. Bullshit. They are not owed that."
