The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports:
An Ohio Republican Party Central Committee meeting ended abruptly Friday after raucous opponents of Gov. Mike DeWine in the audience refused to leave even after party officials brought in sheriff’s deputies.
The decision to adjourn the meeting because of heckling and interruptions from the audience came after Ohio GOP Chair Bob Paduchik and other state party leaders themselves engaged in an often-heated debate with several committee members over party contributions given to DeWine’s re-election campaign.
After the vote on the third resolution, committee member LeeAnn Johnson said the audience was harassing committee members and trying to participate in voice votes. Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mark Pukita urged supporters on social media to attend the meeting.

I’m not vaxed & I’m not getting vaxed. I support your right to be.
I will fight for your right to not be vaxed. I’ll be fighting right alongside you!
No other US Senate candidate can say this. They’ve all taken the jab, which is fine. That’s their choice.
