Andy Hogue, a member of Travis County Republicans — which calls itself an “unofficial” discussion forum for Republicans in Travis County — posted the directive in the group last week. He later said over 100 “Democrats, Progressives and assorted Socialists” were “blocked, removed or suspended” after their “pro-Talarico” posts. The group had roughly 3,600 members as of Tuesday afternoon.
“We wonder how many of these names will show up on our REPUBLICAN Primary rolls?” Hogue wrote. “Might be worth a look.”
I don’t know about Travis County, but I’ve never heard of a place where the party gets to remove people from its voter rolls because it doesn’t like them.
It’s an unofficial Facebook group with barely 3k members. Why this is even a story is beyond me.
It’s a story because even in these small insular groups Republicans are starting to have a harder and harder time convincing people they’re on their side and not rich pedophile oligarchy supporters.
The nazi party.
