Colorado GOP Ejects “Burn All Pride Flags” Chairman

The New York Times reports:

Colorado Republicans have voted to remove their party’s chairman amid mounting internal criticism of his leadership, including over recent posts that attacked the L.G.B.T.Q. community and accusations that he had fueled divisions within the party.

Dave Williams, a hard-line state representative who was elected to helm the Colorado Republican Party last year, was ousted on Saturday, two months after dozens of state Republican Party members signed a petition to hold the vote.

Mr. Williams’s tenure has also been blemished by other problems that have caused fractures within the party. He was under fire for diverting party resources intended for candidates across the state to help his own failed congressional bid.

Read the full article. Williams is refusing to step down, claiming that the vote was “illegitimate.” He was trounced in the House primary despite being endorsed by the felon.
