Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank roasts the GOP for its "new breed of Republican for the Trump era."
Regrettably, Milbank can point to a lot examples, such as current New Jersey GOP Congressional candidate Seth Grossman who, among many gross remarks, called the African-American celebration Kwanzaa a “phony holiday” created by “black racists.”

Here's a reminder from this blog posted in 2017 that dates to 2012:
...it's hard to chalk up the reported rant against Kwanzaa by State Sen. Glenn Grothman, (R-West Bend), to anything other than gross ignorance and intolerance:
Here's a fuller account:Calling it a holiday that "almost no black people today care about," state Sen. Glenn Grothman is characterizing Kwanzaa as a false holiday conjured up by a racist college professor and perpetuated by hard-core liberals."Why must we still hear about Kwanzaa?" the Republican lawmaker from West Bend asked in a press release. "Why are hard-core left wingers still trying to talk about Kwanzaa — the supposed African-American holiday celebration between Christmas and New Year’s?"
Senator Glenn Grothman calls for Kwanzaa to be “slapped down”
...he declares that Kwanzaa is a false holiday he says was conjured up by a racist college professor and perpetuated by hard-core liberals.
Grothman, a Republican lawmaker from West Bend issued the press release during the week of Kwanzaa, calling it a "supposed African-American holiday celebration between Christmas and New Year's..."Dr. Karenga is a racist separatist who wanted to destroy the country in 1966."In 2014, while making his successful run for US Congress, a reporter asked Grothman how he knew that few black people cared about Kwanzaa.
...he [Grothman] told me that he had "polled 20 black people at random" at airports in Los Angeles and Phoenix.
