It shows a real lack of judgment that Governor Sununu would associate himself with someone who defended the violent racists behind these events. We would expect that he urges the Connecticut Republican Party to address their equivocation on the matter before he comes to Connecticut to raise money for their efforts to double down on their support of Donald Trump.

There is no comparison between peaceful protesters seeking racial justice and violent, murderous racists.

Justice, diversity and inclusion are central to the state of Connecticut, and Democrats will fight every day to preserve and protect those values. Yet, on issue after issue, Connecticut Republicans have fallen in line with Trump. Now more than ever we need our GOP colleagues to speak out not only in support of equality, but to hold the president to account for his words and actions. 

It's evident that J.R. Romano's Republican Party is more concerned with scoring political points with the alt-right than offering any constructive solutions.

It should not be difficult to condemn in unequivocal terms the white supremacists in Charlottesville and the violence they have perpetrated. Instead, Connecticut Republican leaders have either remained silent or been defensive about the political fallout on themselves.

Put simply, Len Fasano and Connecticut Republicans believe in an educational funding system that rewards students from wealthier, higher performing districts at the expense of poorer students from less wealthy districts. 

"As Connecticut’s first Asian American legislator, I am particularly offended that the Connecticut GOP has invited Ms. Malkin to speak because of her hateful views in defense of Japanese internment, as set forth in her book 'In Defense of Internment.'  I do not understand how the Connecticut Republican Party embraces and defends the imprisonment of American citizens in concentration camps on American soil, which, I will readily acknowledge, was perpetrated by Democrats in that age.  But at least most of us have the good sense and judgment to be ashamed of it. This is an obvious offense, not just to Asian Pacific Americans across our state, Republican or Democrat, but to all people."
