DeWine facing GOP mutiny in rural Ohio over coronavirus [View all]

A look at the morons we have here, particularly in SW Ohio .... where the coronavirus is currently spiking. I guess DeWine isn’t far right cuckoo enough for them.



********

Republicans in Warren County north of Cincinnati made headlines with their strong rebuke of Gov. Mike DeWine last week.

They told the Republican governor he “overstepped his bounds” with the restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and “grossly mishandled” the delayed primary election.

Turns out they are not the only Republican leaders DeWine has angered.

A few weeks earlier, Republicans in six deeply red counties in the west-central part of the state sent DeWine a letter expressing similar disdain.

“You have disappointed your party faithful,” the letter signed by the GOP county parties in Mercer, Darke, Shelby, Williams, Van Wert and Preble counties stated. Shelby County Republican Chairwoman Theresa Kerg confirmed the letter’s authenticity.

The letter was sent to the governor June 4. “As party leaders in our respective counties, we are telling you that the damage you are doing economically is translating politically.

“What he’s doing, and the way he operates, appears to be more like a Democratic governor,” Kerg said Monday.
