CAGOP Update: Despite LA Times Attempt to Interfere, Biden Supporting CAGOP Delegates Lit Up, Removal Demanded. Will Jessica Patterson Do Anything?

Or will she stick with her pattern of defending people that voted for her while hunting down delegates that did not? (Story Credit: Steve Frank / California Political News and Carl Brickey CRA Exec VP)

Note: The LA Times wrote a preemptive strike story on or about 7-20-2020 quoting Mike Madrid calling everyone KKK Members or something similar in an attempt to shunt the effect of this effort to deal with CAGOP Delegates openly campaigning against Republicans. My guess is that someone inside the CAGOP leaked the story to the LA Times in an effort to diffuse the bomb. If my hunch is true, it is the latest in a string of 1990’s era squish Republican moves that are foolish. Now for the story:

For close to a year The California Political News and Views has asked why are Mike Madrid (a Chad Mayes appointee) allowed to be a delegate to the California Republican Party.  He is a founder of the notorious “Lincoln Project” and effort, financed by major Democrat donors, to defeat President Trump and SEVEN Republican U.S. Senators from around the nation.  The California Republican Party Board of Directors has known about this—and ignored it.  So, it meant that delegates had to file the official complaint, since the Board, by its inaction allowed a major Democrat promoter to be a VOTING delegate, as if he was really a Republican leader.

It should be noted a similar letter is being sent to the CRP to get rid of Democrat Luis Alvarado—another founder of the Lincoln Project who on many occasions called for the defeat of President Trump, who is a CRP delegate. He was appointed by Dane Acosta—now a resident of El Paso, Texas.

Leadership means to lead.  Allowing voting delegates that openly promote the election of Joe Biden and the defeat of GOP Senators—and being silent is NOT leadership.  President Trump deserves a united Republican Party.  Our candidates for legislative office deserve better.  Think the California Democrat Party would have a voting delegate that wanted to elect Trump and defeat Democrat Senators?  Why do we?

I will be reporting on any actions taken now that an official request has been made.

Attached is a copy of the complaint submitted by CRA Exec VP Carl Brickey and three other officers of the California Republican Assembly:

Request to Remove BIDEN Supporter as California Republican Party Delegate

Carl Brickey, 7/22/20

July 22, 2020

Chairwoman Jessica Patterson

California Republican Party

1001 K Street, Fourth Floor

Sacramento, CA 95814

Chairwoman Patterson:

As delegates of the State Central Committee (“the Committee”), we agreed to abide by the Standing Rules and Bylaws of the California Republican Party. Section 2.01.06 (A) states that a majority of the Committee or the Executive Committee may censure or remove any delegate who publicly advocates that voters should not vote for the party’s nominee for any office or who gives support to or avows a preference for any publicly announced candidate of a party other than the Republican Party. Delegate

Michael “Mike” Madrid (Membership ID 25719) has publicly advocated that voters not vote for the Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump, and has given support to and avowed a preference for a publicly announced candidate of another party, Democrat Joe Biden.

The facts in this case are straightforward and unambiguous.

1. Mike Madrid is an Appointive Delegate of the Republican State Central Committee.[1] He was appointed by former Republican, currently No Party Preference, Assemblyman Chad Mayes.
2. Mike Madrid is also a co-founder and advisory board member of The Lincoln Project, a super PAC formed in late 2019 by a group of current and former Republican political consultants.[2] Its mission is to “Defeat President Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box.”[3] [emphasis in original]
3. The Lincoln Project has released numerous ads targeting President Trump and seven Republican Senate incumbents: Cory Gardner (CO), Susan Collins (ME), Martha McSally (AZ), Thom Tillis (NC), Mitch McConnell (KY), Joni Ernst (IA), and Steve Daines (MT). The group’s goal is to elect Democrat Joe Biden to the presidency and secure a Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate. The ads can be viewed on their YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/TheLincolnProject).
4. On April 8, 2020, The Lincoln Project went beyond advocating the defeat of President Trump and outright endorsed presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden for President.[4]
5. Since December 2019, Mike Madrid has publicly advocated in print, social media, and video the defeat of President Trump and, more recently, the election of Democrat Joe Biden as president.[5]

Pursuant to Section 2.01.07 (A) of the Standing Rules and Bylaws of the California Republican Party, we hereby file this complaint with the Chairwoman against Michael “Mike” Madrid (Membership ID 25719) setting forth the causes for his censure and removal from the Committee.

Sincerely,

Carl Brickey, Executive Vice President

California Republican Assembly

Tom Hudson, Immediate Past President

California Republican Assembly

Johnnie Morgan, President

California Republican Assembly

Tim Thiesen, Vice President

California Republican Assembly

Interesting how Jessica Patterson forgot to clear her social media entirely. She seemed to follow Mike Madrid closely, will she try to run and hide from the CAGOP Delegates seeking accountability? She liked both of these tweets by Madrid and is a reputed Never Trumper herself.

This tweet was from about two months ago (May 2020) Note: this was not liked or retweeted by Jessica like the above two.
