NEW YORK (AP) — Several mainstream Republican Senate candidates are drawing on the “great replacement” conspiracy theory once confined to the far-right fringes of U.S. politics to court voters this campaign season, promoting the baseless notion that there is a plot to diminish the influence of white people in America.
In some cases, the comments have gone largely overlooked given the hard-line immigration rhetoric that has become commonplace among conservatives during the Trump era. But a weekend mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, that may have been inspired by the racist theory is drawing new attention to the GOP’s growing embrace of white nationalist creed.
Three weeks ago in Arizona, Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters accused Democrats of trying to flood the nation with millions of immigrants “to change the demographics of our country.” A few days later in Missouri, Senate hopeful Eric Schmitt, the state attorney general, said Democrats were “fundamentally trying to change this country through illegal immigration.” And in Ohio, Republican Senate nominee JD Vance accused Democrats of trying to “transform the electorate.”
Warning of an immigrant “invasion,” Vance told Fox News Channel that Democrats “have decided that they can’t win reelection in 2022 unless they bring a large number of new voters to replace the voters that are already here.”
Some of the Republican campaigns denied that their statements amounted to replacement theory, but among the experts, there is little question.
Five experts on hate speech who reviewed the Republican candidates’ comments confirmed that they promote the baseless racist theory, even though the Republicans don’t mention race directly.

This is an opinion piece. But that’s what most of “journalism” is these days.
So JD Vance pointing out that millions of illegal immigrants are flooding across the southern border is the equivalent of the buffalo shooter? Got it, Associated Press.
The replacement theory is true, because that’s what you get when you flood the host population with a majority of foreigners.
However, it’s being used to discredit conservatism.
They aren’t wrong. But they are replacement VOTERS.
The plethora of H1-B visas just announced is the “Replacement Theory” in action right before our eyes.
Strap in. The rats/MSM will be using this BS issue as a wedge all the way to November. CNN/Colbert/AP, the list will grow.
Yep.
It works on the sheep 🐑🐑🐑.
The UN has a page advocating it.
They’re going to get boomers looking up replacement theory. Smart move dems. You need them to stay asleep.
What an absolutely moronic article.
It’s this year’s “Republicans will ban birth control” narrative.
A
P
ALL PROPAGANDA !!!
Can an H1-B visa holder vote in the U.S.?
I understand that once they're in the US a democrat will vote a ballot FOR them, but can they vote in person too?
Some simple facts, not theory.
1. Democrats have enacted policies, laws, procedures that encourage, allow, tolerate 10s of millions of illegals to enter the country.
2. Democrats have enacted policies, laws, procedures that prevent stopping illegals entering the country and avoid illegals from being deported.
3. Adding 40-50 million illegals to the base US population is significantly changing the US. US population census including illegals is 331m of which 40-50m are illegal making the base population about 286m. 16% of the population is illegal, they multiple but most do not assimilate. This year an estimated 6m illegals will enter the US which is an additional 2%/yr.
4. Many / most of these illegals are low IQ, unskilled, illiterate. Many contribute nothing positive and take an immense amount from our country.
5. In summary, Democrats have caused and allowed 18-20% of the US population to be illegal aliens which is increasing daily. I’m at a loss to characterize this in terms that do not include replacements.
I think Democrats believe they have found their answer to CRT.
The ‘hate’ is from the left. They absolutely hate America and are trying to transform it to something else.
And Biden himself.
Joe Biden says unrelenting stream of immigration will make whites an absolute minority in USA, and THAT’S A GOOD THING!

I’d forgotten!
I am a MAGA court jester, and Trump is my King. I believe in replacement theory. Look at the southern border. Americans are being replaced by illegals. It's not a racist thing. It's a national thing. Republicans need to embrace the replacement theory label, but correct the left's racism twist. By the way, hispanics that have long lived in Texas consider themselves Americans. They are being replaced. Black Americans are being replaced too.
