Some members of the committee said such a ban, proposed two months after a prominent conservative activist was caught meeting with a famous white supremacist, might be a “slippery slope” or too vague.
To be fair, this sounds like a poorly written law. A photo or video can look like association but even more important is that nobody knows the full contents of somebody else’s brain. This person I’ve never met before, are they a Nazi? What if today they’re normal but they spend too much time on YouTube? If they’re a Nazi tomorrow then what?
Not that they’d vote yes on a better written law, but still…
Yeah I have to agree. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Banning anything based on on the thoughts and opinions in someone’s head feels a little too much like thought police to me.
As rules for their own party? The GOP seems just fine with excommunicating Liz Cheney for upholding the rule of law, even if she agrees 100% with the platform, but they cannot keep Nazis out of their party? Weird.

Not a proposed law. It was a proposed rule for the organization, by the organization.
That’s what I was trying to understand from the article. They cannot even give themselves proper standards for their party. They are truly disgusting.
