Full Title: Top Conservatives Demand Reince Priebus Investigate, Censure Henry Barbour for Race-Baiting Mississippi Tactics////

We, the undersigned, write today to express our outrage at the actions of a member of the Republican National Committee, Mississippi National Committeeman Henry Barbour, and to respectfully insist that you create a committee to investigate questionable activities surrounding the June 24 Mississippi Republican Senate nomination runoff election; that the RNC repudiate any and all unethical and potentially illegal activities associated with the runoff election; and that you and your RNC colleagues formally censure or otherwise discipline the persons responsible for those actions.

In the letter, the coalition details how Cochran’s allies—specifically RNC committeeman Henry Barbour, through his role atop the pro-Cochran Super PAC Mississippi Conservatives PAC—“adjusted” their strategy heading into the June 24 runoff after state Sen.

Rinse Repeatus / Prince Riebus needs to step down. His candy ass demeanor is exactly the problem with the GOP. It’s pathetic to see him try to act tough and aggressive on Hannity and Hannity makes him look like a lightweight which isn’t saying much.

From your pic link....

“(Henry Barbour) Helped run RNC Chairman Reince Prebius’ campaign for chairman.”

You’re right....Reince will likely do nothing...unless he’s backed into a corner.

How else are they going to replace Tea Party voters that have sworn off voting for establishment Republicans?

Reince, please be advised that your Plan B is doomed for an
