The National Journal is reporting that an effort will be made at the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting this week in San Diego to remove Dave Agema from the RNC after his most recent racist post on Facebook.
Here’s a portion of the NJ report:
Virginia GOP Chairman Pat Mullins is circulating a letter to RNC colleagues recommending that Agema be expelled from the meeting in San Diego and then permanently removed from the RNC, National Journal has learned.
It’s unclear at this point whether Mullins’s proposal is permissible or whether it would have the requisite support for approval. Priebus issued a statement Tuesday that simply reiterated his desire for Agema to step down. “I’ve previously called for Dave Agema to resign and my position remains the same, he should step aside,” Priebus said. “The tone and rhetoric from Agema is consistently offensive and has no place in politics or any rational conversation.”
