Chaos broke out at last night’s Jackson GOP meeting, prompting a police response.
According to eyewitness reports, candidates unaffiliated with the party line showed up and requested to speak and hand out their flyers.
With the County-endorsed candidates not being at the meeting , the decision was made not to allow the unaffiliated candidates to speak, leading to a chaotic situation.
Multiple police officers were deployed to diffuse the situation.
Insiders within the club have told TLS that “leadership within the club was lacking last night and that an active campaign to replace Club President Tod Porter may be needed to bring stability to the Republican Organization.”
Very sad day in politics. I was there and it was very embarassing.
