Do many Republicans acknowledge bigotry in their own party?

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like a lot of them do...but there certainly are some who have. But it seems like a lot of times they would rather scream about 'liberals' than address any problems whatsoever in their own party. Not going to say the Democrats are totally innocent either...I mean there is a reason I do consider myself liberal but not a Democrat, not happy with the democratic party either.

I guess screaming about "liberals" or "deplorables" is a great way to distract people's attention from your own faults.

It's all a game of misdirection. If someone points out that you did something bad, just point out that someone else did something worse, as if that somehow justifies the thing you did.

Note that I'm talking about the politicians, not the general supporters for this rant. From my experience you have the far right who are a bunch of knuckle dragging Neanderthals bellowing in the vain hope that someone will listen to their monkey rage all the while being nothing more than useful tools of the rest of the party. On rare occasions the party will screw over one of their own so hard that person "develops" a conscience.

However I've found myself woefully mistaken in the past about the left keeping their lunatics in line. At best the scum suckers in the Democratic Party are blatantly obvious Snidely Whiplashes that no sane person will listen to. At worst they're sociopathic David Xanatos types that will stab you in the back all while saying how they have the best concerns of the little people at heart.

Bottom line: Both sides have their trash and neither side wants to acknowledge the garbage stinking up their own house.
