AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Thursday distanced the party from its newly elected leader in Travis County, a self-described caustic tweeter and author of political conspiracy books who says he uses sexually explicit language on social media to educate people.
Robert Morrow, 51, beat the current Republican Party chairman in the county in Tuesday's primary, causing some officials in the party to tell local media they are seeing if they can prevent him from taking office.
"Robert Morrow in no way speaks for the Republican Party or its values. He cannot adequately represent the Travis County GOP," said John Wittman, a spokesman for the Texas governor.
Morrow said on his Twitter feed shortly after his win, "I am the face of the Re-Pube-Licking Party," and posted an idea for a pornographic video involving former first lady Barbara Bush.

(6,241 posts)for the past hour, and he's hilarious. Sick, sexist, and anti-everything that isn't a female body part, but hilarious.
But it's the Trump effect. Trump is such a loud blowhard that anyone that wants to be noticed on the right has to out Trump him.

(3,212 posts)This is what happens when low information voters can't name their party chair. And, honestly, what percentage of people can do that? He has a familiar-sounding name, so people voted for him.
This is freaking scary when you think that it could happen in our party, too.

Big difference tho ... Mark Davis is cool AF ... but Bob Morrow ... not so much.
