This is just hysterical. Robert Morrow has become the Travis County GOP chairman. Travis county includes the city of Austin, Texas. The Washington Post has the story, plus two videos of Morrow.
Texas Republican
‘disaster': New county chair is conspiracy theorist who tweets suggestive
photos of women
It’s 2 a.m. Eastern time — long past the
hour when many reporters and politicians have gone to sleep. But Robert Morrow,
newly elected Republican chair of Travis County, Tex. — which includes
Austin, the state capital — is ready to talk to The Washington Post, though he
deems it a “scum” media organization that covered up the truth about the murder
of President John F. Kennedy. Morrow has a message for Republican in Travis
County who woke up March 2 to realize they now were led by a conspiracy
theorist who tweets photos of large-breasted
women with comments such as “I am feeling boobylicious
tonight!!”
“I don’t give a flying f—,” Morrow said. “… My
enemies are pushing on a string. They have no legal recourse to get rid of me.
I’ve been getting out my word about the criminality of the Bush-Clinton crime
family and serial murderer Lyndon Johnson. It’s a smashing success.”
Morrow, the 51-year-old author of “The Clintons’
War on Women,” said his strategy in winning the race wasn’t
complicated.
“I was listed first on the ballot,” he said.
“See, when you have a primary ballot — people vote for president, Congress,
state judge. When they get down to the precinct chair race, [they vote for
who’s] first on the ballot. It happened to be me. I don’t need Karl Rove
or David Axelrod.”
Politics isn’t even his true calling. Morrow,
who says he has a degree in history from Princeton University and an MBA
from the University of Texas at Austin, devotes himself to unearthing
harsh and supposed truths about America’s “corrupt 40- year politicians” in the
Bush and Clinton families. He also is very interested in what went down in
Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.
“My true expertise is Lyndon Johnson’s role in
the murder of John Kennedy,” he said. “I’ve got 400 books on that. I’ve got
400-plus books on the Clinton family. … That is what I know what to do
very well. I’m a courageous truth-teller in a time when many are too cowardly
to speak the truth.”
Morrow has also devoted a lot of time to
claiming former Texas governor Rick Perry is a “rampaging bisexual adventurer,”
and he once took out an ad in the Austin Chronicle that asked, “Have you ever
had sex with Rick Perry?”
“I kept running into homosexuals who had sex
with Rick Perry,” he said. “Then he runs around with the Bible. … Thank
God there’s someone like me exposing hypocrites like that.”
Leaders of the Travis County Republican
Party, meanwhile, were mortified that it had voted Morrow into office. The
incumbent until June 1, James Dickey — who Morrow beat with about 55
percent of the vote — said uninformed voters carried his rival to victory.
“As you go down the ballot, there are bound to
be races for which [voters] have no information,” Dickey told the Austin
American-Statesman. “It is probably very likely that the vast
majority of those people were, in fact, unfortunately guessing and guessed
wrong.”
The party was also devoted to — somehow, some
way — getting rid of Morrow.
“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,” vice chair Matt
Mackowiak told the Texas
Tribune. “I’m treating this as a coup and as a hostile takeover.”
Mackowiak added: “His social media account is something that no child should
see. He is a total disaster.”
Before the start of his two-year term,
Morrow, who said his opponents have “all the effectiveness of a neutered
gerbil,” thought “things were going to calm down pretty quick.” Not everyone
is against him, he pointed out.
“Not all are opposed,” he said. “Especially
from the liberty faction of [the party]. We’ll probably operate normally.”
Morrow, who said his mother was on the Alabama
Democratic executive committee in the 1970s and 1980s, said he “started out as
a Democrat and kind of rolled over to a libertarian and got involved in
Republican Party.” Public records showed he has been registered as a Republican
since 1995 and that he formerly supported Ron and Rand Paul.
“I’m a de facto libertarian no matter what
party I’m in,” he said.
On the issues, Morrow said he is “just for free
speech and gun rights — I don’t care about the rest.” In the presidential
primary, he voted for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) on Super Tuesday, but he said
he will probably support Donald Trump if he’s the nominee to do anything he
can to “destroy” Clinton. Indeed, he said his Facebook account was
suspended after 30 days when he posted explicit, sexually suggestive comments
about the Democratic front-runner — comments that can be seen on his Twitter
account.
“I
like what Trump’s doing,” he said. “I like the
fact that he is going in on a hostile takeover of the Republican
Party establishment.”
Morrow also explained his penchant for sexually
suggestive tweets.
“I like beautiful women. I celebrate feminine
beauty,” he told the Texas
Tribune. “I’m like Donald Trump — I love women.”
