Nevada Republican state chair insults Hispanics 72 hours before General Election

So we know Hispanics are punishing republicans at the polls for Donald's demeaning, hateful and racist comments towards them. So what does the Nevada GOP state chairman do the very next day to make it up to them, to bring them into the GOP fold? He goes after them, which he calls, "a certain group," for exercising their democratic right to vote.
You can't make this stuff up! It's not funny. American citizens are American citizens, regardless of race or sex. The GOP doesn't deserve votes. NONE!

Jon Ralston summarizes: "To recap: At Trump rally, state GOP chair lamented that “a certain group” was allowed extra time to vote and Trump said it was fraud. Those inane, racist comments will surely spread in Latino community, already w/record early turnout, to boost Tuesday turnout. Genius." Ralston Twitter feed

Whining about extra time to vote - BTW this is nearly always done when there is a large turnout and long lines - people in line are allowed to vote. Might even be state law though I would not expect the state GOP chair to know that.

Whining means they are losing. Put Nevada in the Dem column.

it's always a good time to insult somebody. Unless they have money of course. Then you offer to kiss their asses.
