I'm really trying to understand why the local party thinks they can take away someone's ex officio membership. I've looked at some of the rules people keep referring to and still do not see it. So, I requested some help from someone with experience as a district chairman and service on several state Republican committees.

First off, he said that according to the state plan of organization, under Administrative procedure, "When an ex officio member of a Committee ceases to hold the office that ENTITLES him to such membership, his membership terminates automatically."

So, we then looked at the county plan of organization. It stated, "Elected officials SHALL be ex officio members of the Beaufort CEC [County Executive Committee], with rights to be recognized to speak or debate but not to vote."

I then asked him about the Forfeiture of Official Privileges section of the county plan of organization where it states, "Any current or former officer or Member of a Precinct Committee or County Executive Committee who, for any reason, is removed or resigned from said position shall forfeit all rights and privileges in any way connected with that position." I asked would that apply in any way in this particular situation? On that he said, an ex officio member SHALL be there because of his elected office. He has the right to exorcise that right or not. That's his or her choice.

Putting all this together with the actual minutes of the Beaufort County Executive Committee meeting, where the Commissioner only resigned his voting at large position anyway, makes it look bad for the local committee. They are clearly abusing their power and going to extreme lengths to drive conservatives out of the party.

I was at the meeting as a parent the other night. Below is what I observed from the meeting you did not state in the article above.

1. I watched you deliver the talks to 3 board members. I guess when you sign a contract with the PAC you have to vote and say what they tell you and write for you. Donald and Charles even held the paper up and read it word for word. I watched this from the audience.

2. In the resolution nowhere does it discuss the PAC that you are a part of that I heard. this supports the staff of the of the school system. i guess your PAC could not find a way to dig your 3 out so they had to vote no.

3. The last thing I will say is the good Lord gave us minds to think on our own and not be puppets to any PAC. The faster the people see that the faster we will get out of the racist ways you and others are pushing through the county.

Donald Trump has already pledged to be the deporter in chief after he is re-elected. Ron deSantis would also be solid on this issue. Nikki Haley, however, is little better than a Democrat on illegal immigration.

Again, Bigot Bob wants to make everything about race, but my bet is still that this dude in ANTIFA and more a comrade of Bobbie than any conservative. But he could be one of the white members of BLM, too, or given the current climate, one of the far left supporters of the Hamas terrorists. Bombs make the last option auite likely, and that is where most of the agitation is right now.

trump: 1/18/2024

“SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH ‘GREAT BUT SLIGHTLY IMPERFECT.’ ALL PRESIDENTS MUST HAVE COMPLETE & TOTAL PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY, OR THE AUTHORITY & DECISIVENESS OF A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WILL BE STRIPPED & GONE FOREVER. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE AN EASY DECISION. GOD BLESS THE SUPREME COURT!”

Voters: Is this really what you want? Think, even if trump wins, every democrat elected president gets the same treatment.
You know that's nuts.
You know trump is nuts.
Vote him out now, or you wont be able to later.

Again Big Bob, you wouldn't know.

Like most of your comments here, this is way over you comprehension level.

Big Bob: You are Leftist, and have NO idea what constitutes a Real Republican.

You parrot the words of an Idiot President, and the sum of his Non Patriot Lying Sycophants, so why would anyone of substance care what you spew.

Concurrently, I would argue, however, that you do possess a glimmer of what constitutes a true RINO.

The question is: will the white police fully enforce the law against the white bomber? Apparently he had several homemade bombs. By the look of him, some one on this site knows him. He might be a participant. Right out side the food lion. good lord.
