The vice chair of the Texas Republican Party announced a challenge for the leadership of the state Party after the chair was linked to an organization working with white nationalists, the Texas Tribune reports.
“Recently, our party has strayed from its fundamental mission – growing the Republican Party by reaching new voters and advancing a platform that is grounded in conservative principles,” Texas GOP vice chair Dana Myers said in a statement. “Instead, we find ourselves in a state of disarray, fractured by internal divisions and marred by turmoil. This situation is untenable, and it’s time for a positive change.”
Within the last few weeks, the leaders of the Republican Party in Arizona and Florida have resigned in scandals: in Arizona, the GOP leader attempted to bribe Kari Lake not to enter the Senate race (she did), and in Florida, the state Party’s First Couple engaged in a hypocritical throuple while leading the charge to protect children from people they considered sexual deviants.
