On Friday, the Washington State Republican Party's convention in Spokane erupted with moments of booing, chanting obscenities, and people turning their backs to the party's own candidates.
Division among the state’s Republican Party was evident earlier in the day, when Jaime Herrera Beutler spoke as a candidate for public lands commissioner, a position that runs Washington’s Department of Natural Resources. Members of the crowd booed the candidate. Some stood up and turned their backs on her.
A former representative for Washington’s 3rd Congressional District, Herrera Beutler notably voted to impeach President Donald Trump. It was a move that split GOP voters in her district. She lost the following primary in 2022, and in turn, her elected position in Congress.
““Civility has kind of disappeared,” she said. “Even in our party, and that’s sad.””
Lady, you realize your party did a fucking coup? Fuck off.
Best part… “Even in our party” That’s the separation from reality…
Every. Time.
The coupers bouped.
The coup is ongoing.
