oxtail01 makes a very important point, especially for a Hawaii Republican politician.

One of the things I just DO NOT UNDERSTAND, is why the Hawaii GOP has not come out with a full throated statement condemning racism and hate speech, as well as White Supremacists, Nazis and the KKK.

It's a no brainer.

So, I wonder why.  WHY doesn't the Hawaii GOP come out with a statement condemning?

WHY?

Maybe it wants to continue to be what it is.  Maybe it is satisfied with (what is it?) NO Senators in the Hawaii Senate.  Maybe it's comfortable without a Republican in the Gov's office.

If Djou, Aiona, Slom or Ward are thinking about running for a big seat in 2018, they really SHOULD make a condemnation statement.

ON that number Fukumoto occupies a higher plain.  She was probably an easy contender for a big seat under the GOP in 2018, if she wanted to pursue it.  Her move to leave made clear "there are some things even politicians won't do".

And, she's saying what GOP pols SHOULD do.
