GOP leaders: MTG appearance at white supremacist conference “unacceptable”

Driving the news: On Saturday, Greene and Gosar addressed the America First Political Action Committee’s conference, a white nationalist gathering organized by Nick Fuentes, who has been labeled a white supremacist by the Justice Department.

The big picture: Other Republicans have condemned Greene’s and Gosar’s appearances at the event.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) tweeted on Saturday that the muted reaction from Republican leaders was “deafening and enabling. All Americans should renounce this garbage and reject the Putin wing of the GOP now.”
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) addressed the issue during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, saying he was “reminded of that old line from the ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ movie, where one character says: ‘Morons. I have got morons on my team.'”
