共和党代表保罗·戈萨和马乔里·泰勒·格林出现在一个白人民族主义者组织的活动中几天后，共和党领导人谴责他们参加。

参议院少数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔周一发表声明，批评白人至上主义者的仇恨。

“共和党内没有白人至上主义者或反犹太主义者的位置，”麦康奈尔在一份声明中说，该声明首先由政治报道。

众议员马乔里·泰勒·格林在理事会的小组讨论中回答问题.

共和党领导人凯文·麦卡锡周一下午告诉记者，他认为格林和戈萨的出席是“不可接受的”

麦卡锡向记者暗示，他计划在本周晚些时候与戈萨和格林谈话。

麦卡锡对记者说:“对我来说，这是令人震惊和错误的。”。"我们的派对上没有这种地方。"

“该党在任何时候、任何地方都不应与反犹太主义者联系在一起...这是不可接受的，”他补充道。

麦卡锡上周和一个国会代表团在以色列。他告诉Punchbowl新闻，格林和戈萨出席的消息特别令人不安，因为他最近的访问。

格林和戈萨之前都因为他们异乎寻常的行为而被剥夺了委员会的职务。

然而，麦卡锡此前曾表示，如果共和党在11月夺回众议院，他将恢复他们的任务。

麦卡锡告诉CNN和他办公室外的另一名记者，即使格林声称不知道活动组织者是谁，“根据介绍，你应该走下舞台。”

在介绍格林之前不久，组织此次活动的白人民族主义者尼克·富恩特斯(Nick Fuentes)带领与会者为俄罗斯入侵乌克兰鼓掌，并高呼俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京的名字。

共和党女主席Ronna McDaniel在周一被问及格林的行为时，也谴责了这一事件，但没有谴责她的成员。

“白人至上。新纳粹主义，仇恨言论，偏执都很恶心。他们没有地方或家和我们的党。”

麦克丹尼尔没有说该党是否会对其成员采取进一步行动，例如指责他们。相反，她说她“会让这个过程结束”，看看是否有成员在8月份的党内会议上提出任何指责。

此前，美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)最近发表评论，继续称赞普京。在周二接受保守派电台节目“克莱·特拉维斯和巴克·塞克斯顿秀”采访时，特朗普称普京的策略是“天才”和“精明”。特朗普最终在周六晚上的保守派政治行动会议上抨击了入侵，但称普京“聪明”。

格林和戈萨在周五晚上的会议上的出现现在再次呼吁他们受到国会共和党人的谴责。

民主党全国委员会发言人阿马尔·穆萨说:“在任何其他世界，格林在一次白人至上主义会议上发言，与会者为弗拉基米尔·普京辩护，并赞扬阿道夫·希特勒，这将使他被开除出党团，更不用说她倡导暴力和一贯的反犹太主义是令人厌恶的。”

然而，格林在她的外表上下了一倍的赌注。

“我不会取消保守派运动中的其他人，即使我发现他们的一些声明乏味、误导甚至有时令人反感。我鼓励他们寻求智慧，并向那些被他们的话伤害的人道歉，就像我不得不做的那样，”她说。"我们的信仰呼唤慈善和宽恕。"

“我们不会被害怕上帝之名的记者和华盛顿内部人士所吓倒，他们会毫不留情地攻击我们这些宣扬上帝之名的人。我们知道基督是我们唯一的法官，”她补充道。

上周末，除了声称她不知道富恩特斯是谁，格林说，她去了活动，以达到他的年轻观众，并讨论“美国第一”的政策。

上个月，调查2021年1月6日美国国会大厦袭击事件的国会委员会传唤了富恩特斯。

GOP leaders condemn Greene, Gosar for attending white nationalist event

Days after GOP Reps. Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared at an event organized by a white nationalist, Republican party leaders are condemning them for attending.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell released a statement Monday criticizing white supremacist hate.

"There's no place in the Republican Party for white supremacists or anti-Semitism," McConnell said in a statement first reported by Politico.

Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters Monday afternoon that he found Greene and Gosar's attendance "unacceptable."

McCarthy suggested to reporters that he plans to speak with both Gosar and Greene later this week.

"To me, it was appalling and wrong," McCarthy told reporters. "There's no place in our party for any of this."

"The party should not be associated any time any place with somebody who is anti-Semitic...This is unacceptable," he added.

McCarthy was in Israel last week with a congressional delegation. He told Punchbowl News that the news of Greene and Gosar's attendance was particularly upsetting because of his recent visit.

Greene and Gosar have both previously been stripped of their committee assignments for their egregious behavior.

McCarthy, however, has previously said he would restore their assignments if Republicans take back the House in November.

McCarthy told CNN and another reporter outside his office that even though Greene claimed not to know who the event organizer was "with that introduction, you should have walked off stage."

Shortly before introducing Greene, Nick Fuentes, the white nationalist who organized the event, led participants in applause for Russia's invasion of Ukraine and chanted Russian President Vladimir Putin's name.

Republican Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, when asked about Greene's behavior Monday, also condemned the event but stopped short of condemning her members.

"White supremacy. Neo Nazism, hate speech, and bigotry are disgusting. They have no place or home and our party."

McDaniel didn't say whether the party would take any further action against its members, such ascensuringthem. Instead, she said she "would let the process play out" and see if any members brought any censures forward at a party meeting in August.

The criticism follows recent comments by former President Donald Trump, who continues to praise Putin. During an interview with the conservative radio show "The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show" on Tuesday, Trump labeled Putin's tactics "genius" and "savvy." Trump ultimately slammed the invasion on Saturday night at the Conservative Political Action Conference but called Putin "smart."

Greene and Gosar's appearance at the conference Friday night is now renewing calls for them to be reprimanded by fellow Republicans in Congress.

"In any other world, Greene speaking at a white supremacist conference where attendees have defended Vladimir Putin and praised Adolf Hitler would warrant expulsion from the caucus, to say nothing of her advocacy for violence and consistent anti-Semitism is disgusting," Democratic National Committee spokesperson Ammar Moussa said.

Greene, however, has doubled down on her appearance.

"I won't cancel others in the conservative movement, even if I find some of their statements tasteless, misguided or even repulsive at times. I encourage them to seek wisdom, and apologize to those who have been hurt by their words, as I've had to do," she said. "Our faith calls for charity and forgiveness."

"We're not going to be deterred by journalists and Washington insiders who fear the name of Our Lord, and relentlessly attack those of us who proclaim His name. We know that Christ is our only judge," she added.

Over the weekend, in addition to claiming she didn't know who Fuentes was, Greene said she went to the event to reach his young audience and to discuss "American First" policies.

Last month, Fuentes was subpoenaed by the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
