"Anti-Semitism, bigotry and Hitler apologists should find no sanctuary in the Republican Party," he continued. "We cannot -- and must not -- tolerate the tacit endorsement of such vile ideologies."
Phelan went on to document some of the big money that Defend Texas Liberty PAC has been shelling out, including $132,000 given to the Texas GOP and a $3 million to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
He then called upon Republicans in the state to donate these funds to charities.
