Nevada GOP moves to punish Fox News contributor who endorsed Dem. over scandal-plagued Republican

The Nevada Republican Party is moving to punish its former chairwoman for endorsing two Democratic candidates in November's election.

Amy Tarkanian, a regular contributor on Fox News and Newsmax, offered support for Democratic state treasurer Zach Conine's re-election bid against Republican Michele Fiore and Democratic attorney general Aaron Ford's re-election campaign against Republican nominee Sigal Chattah, reported the Las Vegas Sun.

The conservative pundit was invited to appear Aug. 11 at the Douglas County GOP board meeting to discuss the endorsements, and she shared a letter on social media from the chairman of the county's Republican Party central committee seeking her resignation -- although she's not entirely sure she remains a member of the committee.

“I think I am, but I’m not sure,” Tarkanian said. “I don’t go to their meetings at all. I think maybe I’ve gone to two meetings since I’ve been up here, and we lived here for three years. It’s kind of funny that they would feel this is something that would affect me.”

James McKalip said the executive board would take up the matter to “protect the integrity of our Republican

He left the door open to Tarkanian to take care of the matter on her own

“You are welcome to submit your resignation to me in writing should you desire to bring this process to an immediate conclusion,” McKalip wrote.

In an interview, Tarkanian said she didn’t plan on doing anything in response to the letter.

“I don’t feel that I should waste my time,” Tarkanian said. “If these people are willing to treat me this way, then I’m not going to give them the time of day, but I am still a Republican.”

Tarkanian also said she was not even sure if she was a member of the committee.

“I think I am, but I’m not sure,” Tarkanian said. “I don’t go to their meetings at all. I think maybe I’ve gone to two meetings since I’ve been up here, and we lived here for three years. It’s kind of funny that they would feel this is something that would affect me.”

She stood up against the crazies and did the right thing.

I admire her attitude of >not giving a shit about threats< from McKimon and the Douglas County Republican Central Committee.

Thanks so much for posting!
