GREENVILLE — Top officials at the Greenville Republican Party have abruptly resigned after months of tension with outspoken activists, blaming their critics for a relentless campaign of “intimidation, threats, bullying, disenfranchisement and character assassination” that has thrown the organization into turmoil.

In a letter to South Carolina GOP headquarters July 8 that was obtained by The Post and Courier, Greenville GOP Chair Jennifer Black, 1st Vice Chair Stacy Shea and state Executive Committeeman Randy Page said the ongoing attempt to thwart their leadership has made their positions untenable.

“While we have patiently sought resolution, addressed the constant baseless accusations, and always demonstrated transparency and a willingness to move forward, it has been met with barricades at every turn,” the group wrote.

“As such, our energy is best used elsewhere to positively engage legislative issues that affect us, our families, and the citizens of our great state,” they concluded.

In an interview with The Post and Courier, {state GOP Chairman Drew} McKissick described the situation as “absolute insanity” and said the My SCGOP activists have engaged in “totally shameful, reprehensible behavior.”

I always love when one group of deplorables calls another group of deplorables reprehensible.

1. I am sure Lindsay Graham will go with whoever intimidates him the most

and try and act like it's all normal and his idea.

2. Cue the "snake poem."

The GOP leadership knew they were cultivating racists and bullies when they went along with Trump's seizure of power in 2016.

They thought they could control the worst of the deplorables.

Welcome to the new reality.

3. The good spin here

This is only the 2nd of 46 counties to be taken over by the MAGA forces (the other is the Myrtle Beach county), and the state party is still in the hands of the Old Guard.
The traditionalists are bad enough, but nothing like the TeaParty/MAGA crowd.
