Travis County, Texas — Travis County GOP officials are openly revolting against their newly elected chairman, announcing via social media their plans to remove Robert Morrow.
The new leader of the Travis County Republican Party spent election night tweeting about “Rick Perry’s rampaging bisexual adulteries” and how “much of the Bush family should be in jail.”
Morrow, a political activist who ran ads in 2011 seeking evidence to support his accusation that former Gov. Rick Perry is gay, noted last night that "for some strange reason I have been picking up more Twitter followers lately."
Matt Mackowiak, vice chair of the Travis County GOP, tweeted last night that he will start trying to remove Morrow from office.
"We will explore every single option that exists, whether it be persuading him to resign, trying to force him to resign, constraining his power, removing his ability to spend money or resisting any attempt for him to access data or our social media account," Mackowiak told the Texas Tribune. "I'm treating this as a coup and as a hostile takeover."
In an interview with the Statesman’s Ken Herman in 2011, Morrow talked about his political research into allegations of criminal activity by Hillary Clinton and Perry’s sexuality.
“I’m a truth seeker and a truth teller. Even if it’s the ugly truth,” he told Herman.
Morrow co-wrote a book with Roger Stone, a former top aide to Donald Trump, called "The Clintons' War On Women," which was released Oct. 13.
Morrow, who grew up in Tuscaloosa, Ala., where his family has a real estate business, is a Princeton University graduate and has an MBA from the University of Texas.
