Travis County GOP Apoplectic Over New Chairman


he newly elected chair of the Republican Party in the county that includes the Texas Capitol spent most of election night tweeting about former Gov. Rick Perry’s sexual orientation and former President Bill Clinton’s penis, and insisting that members of the Bush family should be in jail.

He also found time to call Hillary Clinton an “angry bull dyke” and accuse his county vice chair of betraying the values of the Republican Party.

“The people have spoken,” Robert Morrow, who won the helm of the Travis County GOP with 54 percent of the vote, told The Texas Tribune. “My friends and neighbors and political supporters — they wanted Robert Morrow.”

Morrow’s election as Republican chair of the fifth-largest county in Texas left several members of the Travis County GOP, including vice chair Matt Mackowiak, apoplectic. Mackowiak, a Republican strategist, immediately announced over social media that he would do everything in his power to remove Morrow from office.

“We will explore every single option that exists, whether it be persuading him to resign, trying to force him to resign, constraining his power, removing his ability to spend money or resisting any attempt for him to access data or our social media account,” Mackowiak told the Tribune. “I’m treating this as a coup and as a hostile takeover.”

The right-wing media in this country has been harping on the politics of outrage and railing against "political correctness" for so long that the chickens have come home to roost.

Trump is the candidate the right deserves and appears to, in no small way, want.

This guy? He has a point. He was what the GOP in Travis county voted for.

Which makes me wonder if this year isn't the point where the GOP has officially jumped the shark, and will go the way of the Whigs.

Tell them they can go fuck themselves,” Morrow told the Tribune.

“I don’t even think Mackowiak is going to support the Republican nominee, who is probably going to be Trump,” Morrow said. “What kind of traitor to the party is Matt Mackowiak? The incredible amount of damage someone like him does to the party — and he’s a douchebag.”

Morrow, who’s also tweeted that Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is “very likely a gayman who got married,” said he supports the brand of Republican politics he most closely associates with Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz.

“The Republican Party, I would hope, is about limited government with a libertarian perspective,” Morrow said. “But it’s a big tent, and there are many factions in it, and that’s okay with me.”

Morrow’s main complaint is with “establishment” Republicans, who he does not believe should hold elected office, he said. Last week, he tweeted that the Republican National Committee was just a “gay foam party.”

Morrow has a long history of critiquing prominent state Republicans in vulgar, and often sexually explicit, terms. For years, he has alleged that Perry is secretly bisexual; in 2010, he referred to him as “Gov. Skank Daddy” in an email.

“Perry is an epic hypocrite,” he told the Tribune on Wednesday. “I think he has been a rampaging bisexual adulterer for many decades.”

Though Morrow has tweeted often about sexually explicit acts involving Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton and his last several Facebook profile pictures were of scantily clad women, he said he denies any charge that he is sexist.

“It’s derogatory toward Hillary Clinton because I hate Hillary Clinton," he told the Tribune. "But I’m not sexist. Why would you ask that? I’m not sexist.”

“I like beautiful women, I celebrate feminine beauty,” Morrow added. “I’m like Donald Trump — I love women.”

When the Tribune asked about the content of some of Morrow’s social media posts, without using the specific racial slur Morrow had employed, Morrow seized on the omission as an example of corruption within the media.

“You are a perfect example of what the Trump movement is revolting against because you can’t even pronounce the word n----- when you are talking about a Facebook post,” Morrow said. “What a pathetic excuse for a reporter you are.”

“The context of the post is quite gentle, but maybe you’re not smart enough to figure that out,” he added.

Morrow did not spend much time campaigning for the position he now holds.

“I didn’t spend one penny,” he said. “I barely asked anyone to vote for me.”

Morrow will assume his party post in June.

Rest of the article. WOW, this guy is an asshole.

His repeated slurs though reminds me of Mr. "I-hate-teh-gays-but-have-a-wide-stance", who got charged with soliciting gay sex in an airport bathroom.

An East Texas Republican who once claimed President Obama used to be a gay prostitute appears headed for a May 24 primary runoff in the race to represent District 9 on the State Board of Educatio


A woman who could determine the nation’s textbook curriculum believes the Civil War was not caused by slavery, Barack Obama is a former gay Arab prostitute, and gays are abominations.

WTF?

[RandomGuy]

For years, the Board of Education has provided the high-octane fuel of the culture war, undermining evolution in science class, requiring history textbooks to teach that Moses inspired the Constitution, and downplaying the role of slavery in the Civil War.
And Bruner would bring loads of ammo.
“I am not saying the Native Americans deserved what happened to them but sometimes God removes his protection from people who worship pagan gods,” she once wrote on Facebook in an apparent reference to the Native American population’s historic mistreatment by the United States.
Bruner doesn’t trust Civil War historians, complaining on Facebook that they had revised history and “demonized” the South.
“In the beginning the dispute between the North and the South was not about slavery,” she wrote. “It was about the railroad.” Elsewhere, she claimed that black Americans had already been given reparations for slavery. “The public schools and universities do not teach this information about the War Between the States.” The Republican has no love lost for the first president from her party, either.

Texas! Totally NUTZ :lol

East TX? Off the scale

[RandomGuy]

Morrow said on his Twitter feed shortly after his win, "I am the face of the Re-Pube-Licking Party," and posted an idea for a pornographic video involving former first lady Barbara Bush.

[RandomGuy]

"I put out caustic and inflammatory tweets because I am trying to educate people," he said in a Reuters interview, adding he provides Internet links to support his arguments.


But party officials may be over a barrel in that there is little they can do to remove someone who has been duly elected. Some party leaders have floated the idea of starting a new county organization for the Republican Party and leaving Morrow to preside over an empty operation.

“They are neutered gerbils," Morrow said.

This party needs to purge, big time.

[Winehole23]

self-purging, turns out


The brief, zany tenure of Travis County GOP Chairman Robert Morrow came to an end Friday, as party officials made clear the conspiracy theorist abandoned his post by running for president and he accepted their conclusion without question.


Inside a nondescript office park in Austin, party officials convened reporters to lay out their case, saying Morrow's application to be a write-in candidate for the White House, filed last week, "resulted in an immediate vacancy" at the top of the county party. Waiting in the lobby afterward was Morrow, wearing his trademark jester's hat and carrying the "Trump is a Child Rapist" sign that had got him booted from a rally for the Republican presidential nominee Tuesday in Austin.


"I'm in complete agreement with them because I'm running for president," Morrow said of party officials' conclusion. "It's clear: You can't be the president of the United States of America, or even run for president, and be the chairman of a political party, and I'm fine with that."
