North Carolina GOP Party chair urges followers to say no to Clinton

Hasan Harnett is the chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party.

The African-American chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party has tied Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to the Ku Klux Klan, calling on his followers to "Say NO” to the “Democrat Lies.”

Hasan Harnett has repeatedly taken to the social media over the last week and tweeted pictures of the Klan next to Clinton’s with the hashtags #BlackLivesMatter and #ChristianLivesMatter.

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is the name of three movements in the United States, which have advocated extremist reactionary currents such as white supremacy, white nationalism, and anti-immigration.

 

Harnett tweeted pictures of the KKK next to pictures of Hillary Clinton twice last week.

 

Harnett, who won the chairmanship last month, called on his followers to "Say NO to the #Democrat Lies" and the "#Liberal Agenda."

"We need a bold, reinvigorated Republican Party who listens to the grass roots,” Harnett said after the election, saying he could help expand the party's appeal to communities of color.

“Together we will win in 2016 because teamwork makes the dream work."

Harnett, who formerly was a Democrat, switched to the Republican Party in 2010.

"The chairman isn't going to comment or give interviews on tweets, but as the first black chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party, he believes we have to learn from history and move past it," said state Republican Party Executive Director Todd Poole.
