Texas GOP revolts over 'embarrassment' winning county chair
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — An Austin author who often uses homophobic slurs and co-authored a book about Hillary Clinton with one of Donald Trump's former presidential advisers is the newly elected GOP county chairman in the seat of Republican power in Texas.
Robert Morrow, who calls his "true expertise" his belief that the CIA killed President John F. Kennedy, used profanity Wednesday as he challenged party leaders who are seeking to invalidate his primary victory that positions him to become the next leader of the Travis County Republican Party.
Morrow has long been known in Austin political circles for his fringe theories and vulgar, sexually explicit accusations against public officials in both parties.
