Jace Yarbrough says he won't placate those who think his policies are "bigoted, backward and oppressive and Nazi-ish."

(The Guardian) "In the primary for a newly gerrymandered Texas congressional district, Donald Trump and a bunch of Big Tech oligarchs are backing a Republican candidate who’s been unapologetic about his bigoted opinions."

"Jace Yarbrough — a conservative lawyer running in the primary for Texas’ 32nd Congressional District with the endorsement of the president and the financial backing of conservative tech executives like Peter Thiel — is a perfect example of how racist gerrymandering can give rise to racist lawmakers."

"Trump pushed for Texas (among other states) to gerrymander its districts to help Republicans ahead of this year’s midterm elections. In Texas, this was largely achieved by diluting the voting power of Black and Latino communities in a number of districts, making Texas’ 32nd District what the Texas Tribune called 'the safest bet for Republicans out of the five Democratic seats targeted by the GOP’s new congressional gerrymander.' "

"The Guardian listed some of the bigoted viewpoints that Yarbrough espoused at a candidate forum just last week:

"On immigrants, he said: ‘We no longer share common values with people that we see in the grocery store or at our public schools, people that are at the local mall. Because we’re not from the same place, we don’t have the same formation.’ He also called for repealing the Hart-Celler Act, the 1965 law that ended race-based immigration quotas – a longtime white nationalist policy demand that has increasingly been voiced in organs of the Maga movement."
