More breaking news on the ongoing garbage fire that is the Republican party in Texas– Robert Morrow, the chairman of the Republican party of Travis County (the county which contains most of Austin) showed up to a recent Trump event. To protest. He was wearing a jester’s costume.
A little bit of background on this jester’s costume. Morrow wore the same three-pointed jester’s hat to his first official meeting, a move which he claimed was deeply symbolic.

one point each, he explained later, for three covered-up murders by prominent U.S. politicians.

Morrow then gave a forty-minute speech filled with wild conspiracy theories, and ignored several attempts to shush him because he was over the time limit, and, you know, saying crazy things.
It was not long before the party moved to strip Morrow of his access to the organization’s money and social media accounts, due in part to a string of tweets which, due to their content, was only reported in full in Esquire. But here’s a sample of how his tweets went over.

Joe Pojman, a precinct chair who supported the plan [to strip Morrow of some of his powers], took the mic and read tweets Morrow had posted during the meeting, including a PG-13 version of a profanity-laced attack on former Gov. Rick Perry and a statement on what Morrow planned to focus on as chairman: “big titties.”“We need a safety net,” Pojman said.

Back to the Trump event. Morrow carried a large red sign with white letters that read, “TRUMP IS A CHILD RAPIST.”
Morrow plans to run for president as a write-in candidate. He has filed all the necessary paperwork. He told passers-by about his platform:

If I’m elected president, every Fourth of July, we’re going to have a wet T-shirt contest at the White House

His running mate is his handyman.
The Republican Party is moving to remove him as chairman of the Travis County GOP. It seems that state law doesn’t allow the chairperson of a political party to run for political office. Of course, Morrow thinks it’s because he showed up to protest the Trump rally.
In the end, it’s hard to argue with the way Morrow describes himself:

I mean, I am a flame thrower and I have kicked republican officials in the nuts constantly and enjoyed every minute of it, every day of the week.
