Kentucky Republicans reject resolution urging Mitch McConnell to stand with Trump

Source: Louisville Courier Journal

The Republican Party of Kentucky's State Central Committee rejected a resolution Saturday that would have urged Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to fully support former President Donald Trump and condemn his second impeachment.

The committee met Saturday to consider the proposal after the Republican Party of Nelson County announced more than 30 GOP county chairs and vice chairs had called for a meeting to consider the resolution aimed at the commonwealth's longtime senator.

Republican Party of Kentucky Chairman Mac Brown called the resolution out of order, and the majority of the committee agreed, a member told The Courier Journal after the meeting. The final vote agreeing the resolution should be deemed out of order was 134-49, the member said.

Republican Party of Nelson County Chair Don Thrasher, who led the resolution effort, said the chairs who supported it will now bring a motion asking for McConnell's resignation, which he said is in the purview of the rules.

Good sign that the Trump loyalists are running into pushback, at least in Kentucky.

And while Trump's recorded endorsement might have helped get RWNJ Kelli Ward reelected as chair of the Arizona GOP today, it was very close, 51.5% to 48.5%, showing the MAGAts nearly lost in the GOP there, too.

so what are they whining about again?

At least this gives one an idea of how many are still clinging to the hardcore seditionists position.
