'Indicative of moral rot': Texas GOP House speaker slams right-wing super PAC meeting with infamous Nazi

Dade Phelan, the speaker of Texas' House of Representatives, took a shot at some of his own political allies on Monday for meeting with infamous Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes.

The meeting in question was hosted by Jonathan Stickland, the president of the Defend Texas Liberty PAC that has donated generously to Texas Republicans.

In condemning the meeting, Phelan emphasized that "this [is] not just a casual misstep" but is instead "indicative of the moral, political rot that has been festering in a certain segment of our party for far too long."

"Anti-Semitism, bigotry and Hitler apologists should find no sanctuary in the Republican Party," he continued. "We cannot -- and must not -- tolerate the tacit endorsement of such vile ideologies."

Phelan went on to document some of the big money that Defend Texas Liberty PAC has been shelling out, including $132,000 given to the Texas GOP and a $3 million to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.

He then called upon Republicans in the state to donate these funds to charities.

"There is no excuse to keep tainted funds from an organization that provides a platform for hatemongers, sexual predators, racists and Nazi sympathizers," he said.
