Comments for Queen Garris Does it Again | Eastern NC Now

So it is once again someone else's fault that you berated the dispatcher. Its the dispatcher's fault. Or it's the reporters' collective fault for reporting your bad behavior. Nerver, ever is it your fault. Everyone else is at fault ... but not you Mr. Richardson. Never ... such a victim.

Dummy Rational Observer, The 300 pound woman was walking down the center of the street in more than 90 degree heat and profusely sweating. I saw danger, danger, danger. You were not there, so how stupid you are of me to question my judgement.

It is strange that getting information from local law enforcement is extremely difficult, but my call to help someone in distress became public. Politics, politics, politics.

When you demand that Van Zant, Washingtonian, RINO Hunter, John Steed, John Valley, Befuddled, and Country Girl unveil who they are and you call for them to identify yourself I'll do the same. Not that I haven't already basically told you before. But deal?

Rational Observer, Now find witnesses other than you and members of the Victory Committee who will sign sworn statements to any of the lies you are spreading. You are dealing in hate and are delusional. My name is not hid. Make your name public to back up your accusations???!!!!

You want a list, Mr. Richardson? Here's what only I have observed. You called Mimi Speers a b*tch to her face at one of GOP County conventions in my presence. You threatened to slap Lori Norman at another. You referred to a group of Latino moms as Taco Moms. You called the police to report "a 300 lb black woman walking down the street in front of Frank's Pizza with a blank stare". You refuse to leave when the public portion of executive meetings is concluded. You tell people to shut up constantly when they question you. You raise your voice whenever you can. You make everyone that is visiting a meeting uncomfortable by pretending to constantly be a victim of some grand conspiracy against you. Your personality is simply toxic at any meeting.

So Much is broken locally, it is hard to know where to begin.

Before and just after the Council election, the candidates were anxious to shine sunlight on everything. Now they have hidden themselves in a black hole, where the sun doesnt shine. Everything is done in
secret, and though Davis gives hints at to some of the secrets, it is still only hints.
Did the public scare the new council members into the shadows, or did the Inside-City-Cabal do that?

I'm looking for one of those "Give me Liberty or Give me Death" type of politicians. The County has one of those...he's called Hood.

The public can see for themselves the dishonesty going on in the leadership of the local GOP. They operate using half-truths and outright lies. The Plan of Organization calls for "advice and CONSENT" from the Executive Committee. Anyone that has served on any committee knows sub-committees report to overall committees. Neither of these things happen in the Beaufort County Republican Party.

To be clear and precise, a motion was made and approved unanimously to allocate $400 for a GOP Headquarters monthly plus utilities. The initial site was in disrepair and posed safety concerns. However, our great team discovered an alternative location in downtown Washington for less which includes utilities. What's not to celebrate? Isn't this the epitome of conservative values in action? For those who prefer, the stairs are always an option, and we'll ensure the entry is accessible to all. Instead of continuing to attack the hard work of valued volunteers/conservatives, try being positive and show some appreciation.

When I read Mr. Richardson's articles especially lately, I have to remind myself that he's been in office for over 30 years having never furthered conservatism. Why must I remind myself? Because he's acts as if he's totally clueless as to how committees or the party work, but it's actually just a game so that he can play the victim yet again. Mr. Richardson knows damn well that there are actually only two required meetings every year for an executive committee. He also knows that the committee dates and times are set.Solely by the chairman of the party, not for approval by the executive committee. But of course he would write like he does to make it appear as if a rule is being violated that does not exist. Because then mister richardson can play the woke little victim yet again. I haven't seen this much complaining about being a victim in a very long time.It's almost tedious at this point. Every single article is about how awful he feels treated. I think it's about time he grows up and actually addresses issues that are important to conservative voters like tax cuts, regulatory reform, high cost of living, bringing jobs to the county ... instead of this endless whining about how he's such a victim at the hand of everyone else. Notice in his articles how there's always someone that's oppressing him. Whether it's carolyn garris, before michelle nix or keith kidwell. He never, ever takes responsibility for his bad behavior and inability to act like a decent human being at meetings. Instead, he acts like a democrat.That is constantly complaining about being a victim. I don't know about everybody else, but i'm over it.
