Republican Party leaders in Florida are moving on after discovering one of their officials changed his name and allegedly attempted to hide an act of horrific violence.

The state party leaders ruled that Rupert Tarsey can remain secretary of the Broward County Republican Executive Committee despite his criminal past and attempt from the committee's chairman to suspend him.

Following a May election that saw the little-known newcomer get elected to the committee, defeating two opponents with deeper ties to the GOP, members found out that despite being just 28 years old, he'd already lived another life as a wealthy high schooler named Rupert Ditsworth, who savagely attacked a young girl with a hammer after trapping her in his car, but never spent a drop of time behind bars.

"When you have a lot of money, you can kind of get away with stuff," Celeste Ellich, vice chair of the Broward County Republican Party, told the Los Angeles Times.

4. changing his name proves to me he is sane

and knew that beating someone with a hammer is WRONG. But he does fit in with the GOP: Gangster or Pedophile

[christx30]

5. Because it's better that a violent sociopath keep the job

than risk it getting a Dem in office. I mean, how terrible would that be?

Like "violent sociopath" is different from a repub?

15. First off

The child he attacked is a bad ass, that poor girl was badly beaten but still managed to fight back and go to her prom. I could only hope to have as much strength in such a horrible situation.

Fuck you Florida Republican Party for empowering a man with serious psychological issues and I hope he never turns his hammer on you or your children or actual innocent people.

Oh and fuck Ditsworth I hope you die alone and broke and with a horrible and painful disease you filthy disgusting and disturbing human being.

19. However it's done, people should know about this vicious Republican attempted murderer they accept,

just as they accept the ####ing monster pedophile who has spent so much of his life preying on innocent children, then passing down judgement on people he doesn't believe are as remarkable in their Christian lives as he is, good old Judge Roy.

I appreciate your trying to get the news out.

Thank you.

But if it was a public lefty, who maybe made a joke that hurt someone's fee fees a decade ago , bring out the pitchforks and run 'em outta town. Depressing.

22. Republicans thought well of Ted Bundy

And according to some of his biographers tried to get him to run for office.

After graduating from UW in 1972[46] Bundy joined Governor Daniel J. Evans' reelection campaign.[47] Posing as a college student, he shadowed Evans's opponent, former governor Albert Rosellini, recording his stump speeches for analysis by Evans's team.[48][49] After Evans's reelection he was hired as an assistant to Ross Davis, Chairman of the Washington State Republican Party. Davis thought well of Bundy, describing him as "smart, aggressive ... and a believer in the system".[50] In early 1973, despite mediocre Law School Admission Test scores, Bundy was accepted into the law schools of UPS and the University of Utah on the strength of letters of recommendation from Evans, Davis, and several UW psychology professors.[51][52]

During a trip to California on Republican Party business in the summer of 1973, Bundy rekindled his relationship with Brooks, who marveled at his transformation into a serious, dedicated professional seemingly on the cusp of a distinguished legal and political career.
