The victims of the racist massacre at a Buffalo, New York supermarket have been identified and their ages range from 32 to 86.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avowed white racist Payton Gendron allegedly put together a 180-page manifesto that revealed his hatred for Black and Jewish people and the \u201creplacement theory\u201d ideology that Fox News often speaks of, notably hosts Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, several Republican politicians have spouted the racist \u201ctheory,\u201d saying that Democrats\u2019 immigration policies would \u201creplace\u201d GOP voters with individuals of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New York Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and Ohio GOP hopeful JD Vance recently have been outspoken in supporting \u201creplacement theory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stefanik used the concept in her 2021 campaign ads saying, \u201cradical Democrats are planning their most aggressive move yet: a permanent election insurrection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vance, a Donald Trump-endorsed candidate, recently ratcheted up the rhetoric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re talking about a shift in the democratic makeup of this country that would mean we never win, meaning Republicans would never win a national election in this country ever again,\u201d he claimed at a campaign event last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vance\u2019s defeated opponent, Josh Mandel, also ran on \u201creplacement theory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is about changing the face of America, figuratively and literally,\u201d Mandel stated in a published interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey are trying to change our culture, change our demographics and change our electorate. This is all about power,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far, the only Republican politician of note to call out the racist rhetoric is Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
