JIMMY LYONS HOMOPHOBIA GENERATING INTERNAL FIGHTING IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
IT'S A THING OF BEAUTY.
Members of the State Committee Massachusetts Republican Party

Delivered via e-email June 11, 2021
Dear Members of the State Committee:
As former chairs of the Massachusetts Republican Party, we feel it necessary to express our disappointment over the recent events.
We are concerned the MassGOP is currently in the position of being unable to recruit new, competitive candidates, provide necessary resources, defend incumbents, and attract voter support.
As party leaders, we understood our responsibility to foster a positive and encouraging environment where we recruited candidates capable of running competitive races.
We worked diligently with our GOP elected leaders and contributors to build bridges and provide support for candidates up and down the ballots.
We respected opposing opinions and sought to build common ground.
We championed individual freedom and responsibility, along with smaller, less-intrusive government.
We did not apply strict litmus tests based on personal beliefs.
We did not openly challenge and oppose elected Republican leaders when our personal political beliefs did not align.
We defended our candidates from distasteful and hurtful attacks whether from the opposing party or within our ranks.
In the past, the MassGOP has been a big tent.
Never did we believe in addition by subtraction. And yet, that is what we have seen under the current leadership: - Failure to admonish and disavow bigoted comments from a State Committee member directed toward a Republican candidate for Congress. This has tarnished the MassGOP and will create unnecessary distractions for the party’s candidates. - Open, harsh and unapologetic criticism of the Governor by the party chairman for not meeting a litmus test for Republicans. - With a reported $173,000 on hand, a failure to raise sufficient funds to even stage a reasonable convention, much less support candidates for office.
