Those accusing the GOP of supporting racism in the wake of the Buffalo mass shooting are “trying to promote their own political agenda," House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) has said.

Scalise was joined by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in flatly rejecting accusations by Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), and Democrats who alleged the GOP supports “white nationalism,” The Hill reported.
