Anthony Miller was the first black chairman of the Republican party in precinct 20 in Airzona. He has been subject to verbal and written threats and abuse since his election, apparently by other “committee members”, according to the Washington Post story.
His letter of resignation included the following:
Also:
Three other officials in the same district joined him in resigning, perhaps as a gesture of solidarity, perhaps in fear of their own safety.
Anyone know what the Republican Party District 20 encompasses? It seems to have become a rogue district.
I just heard that the model glock this kid used are flying off the shelves in Arizona. Perhaps it’s Arizona that has become rogue. Or is that maverick?
According to this, that encompasses parts of Arizona’s 4th* and 5th Congresional Districts, led by Ed Pastor (D) and David Schweikert (R).
That portion seems to only be the Phoenix South Mountain Park in that District. I can’t imagine many people living in that area, although local knowledge would be better.
I really wish I could say that this crap surprised me. This is the type of thing I expected–the shooting causing people to take previously ignored threats seriously.
