Tennessee GOP Leader Quits, Lambastes Corrup Party: Our Soul Rotted Away

A top Republican official in Tennessee resigned his position and accused the state party of being run by "a small corrupt core group who view our party as their private club and personal piggy bank."

The Tennessean reported that Tennessee Republican State Executive Committee member Mark Winslow, a Donald Trump supporter, announced on Twitter last week that he was resigning, and took some parting shots at his party on the way out.

"My state political party is beyond salvage," Winslow wrote. "Oh, sure, we're drifting along on inertia, collecting PAC checks and distributing the money to favored candidates or using the money to pay staffers to take out those who are not favored."

"We pat ourselves on our collective supermajority and claim that legislative status absolves every wrong deed," he continued. "Our soul rotted away some time ago."
