A slate of anti-immigrant, anti-trans, pro-death penalty resolutions proffered by a Harris County GOP precinct chair drew outrage from Democrats and scorn from Republicans, though the opposing sides remained at odds over the correct outcome.

Carla Richburg of Cypress, chair of GOP precinct 602, proposed eight resolutions to the party platform, including outlawing all sex education in schools; mandatory death penalties for anyone convicted of murdering a police officer or murders committed during other felonies; a call to “wage war against all invaders” related to Texas borders that authorizes deadly force; considering all Chinese nationals as spies and removing them from the country; refusal to recognize transgender identification; and removal of the word “marriage” from official documents.

The resolutions were roundly rejected by the local Republican party’s advisory board, which forwarded them to voters, noting, “we unanimously condemn the tone and content.”

I can see why someone would have that thought!

Sounds like "a good start" to me.

Is it any wonder why Republicans lose?
This is Texas, for gosh sakes.
Hey all you GOPBriefers down TX way...
