Republican activists Tad Furtado and Ray Gilmore failed last week to oust the chairman of the Mount Washington Valley Republican Committee, Steven Steiner. Furtado said he was concerned about the direction the GOP is taking, pointing to the anti-vax, anti-mask wing of the party. He said the GOP on these issues is “ignorant, hateful and foolish.” Gilmore’s criticism homed in on Republicans’ continued support of Donald Trump, saying, “Sadly, the MWV Republican Committee has been hijacked and turned into a Trump fan club, and that is something that I will never support or condone.” Those supporting Steiner, such as state Rep. Karen Umberger, say he is doing a good job. “Steve is still the chairman, and I’m happy about it,” she said.
This week’s TeleTalk question is: Do you think the MWV Republican Committee led by Steve Steiner accurately reflects the views held by most Republicans?
Yes. Though the Sun and left media are mired in Republican and Trump derangement syndrome, Steiner and the MWV Committee are clear. Not all are, or were "fans" of Trump's personality or tweets but are HUGE "fans" of a functioning economy, prosperity, free speech, energy independence, law & order, secure borders & safe streets resulting from his Presidency and totally the antithesis of the mess we're in now. Most Republicans/Conservatives view big government, big tech and dishonest media as manipulative betrayers of principles our country were founded on. And by the way the judgmental Sun is going to decide who is a "reasonable Republican" candidate? Rich...you've made my point. Sharon Wilson, Madison
