OMAHA- On Tuesday, The Nebraska Democratic Party criticized "callous" comments spoken by a featured speaker from the Nebraska Freedom Coalition. In a string of social media posts, the Democratic Party condemned conservative comedian Alex Stein, who congratulated murdered Minnesotan George Floyd for being "two and a half years sober."

Moments after uttering this, Stein announced to the crowd that it was just "a bad joke." When the crowd laughed at the "joke," Stein told them "That's evil."

State Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb stated that the new state GOP is "just as extreme" as the Freedom Coalition, the group that hosted the event with comedian Alex Stein and "Stop the Steal" protest organizer Ali Alexander.

Kleeb emphasized an email the state GOP sent out this month, asking Republicans, "Is your torch lit?" The party chair thought the email evoked the 2017 protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, where white nationalists marched with lit torches.

A spokeswoman of the Nebraska Republican Party stated that they have nothing to comment about Kleeb's claims.

Kleeb later went on to state that State Republicans were creating a "hostile environment" because "the leaders of the Nebraska Republican Party and their attacks dogs literally call us 'groomers,' 'predators,' and 'call girls.'"

Last week, the Freedom Coalition tweeted that the Nebraska GOP "has been called everything from racist homophobes to fascist murderers by the Left," and that they were expected to "play nice, watch our words, and take the high road."

The Coalition tweeted that same day, "Well enough is enough--no more Nebraska Nice!"
