BEXAR COUNTY, Texas -- Top Texas Republicans are calling on the chair of the Bexar County GOP to resign. It comes after she floated a conspiracy theory about the death of George Floyd.

In a since-deleted Facebook post, Bexar County Chairwoman Cynthia Brehm asked for her friends' thoughts about whether Floyd's death was staged to damage President Trump with black voters. There is no evidence to support that claim. Floyd died last week after a white police officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

Gov. Greg Abbott has called for Brehm to step down.

"These comments are disgusting and have no place in the Republican Party or in public discourse," John Wittman, a spokesman for Abbott, said in a statement.

Other Republicans, including both Texas senators, the chairman of the state GOP and the Republican congressmen who represent Bexar County have also called for her to step down.

Not a cult.

Governor Abbott basically telling state GOP not to stoop to dim tactics.  I'm okay with that.

But OTOH, almost as preposterous of an idea of a  6 time felon, resisiting arrest, hopped up on Fenyl and Meth becoming a nation-wide martyr, hero,  and saint.

Jut sayin,
