In the provided audio clip, you’ll hear an hour-long conversation between Denton County Republican Party Precinct Chair Aileen Blachowski and Representative Jared Patterson. In the recording, specific State Republican Executive Committee members are called lunatics, other representatives are discussed, and legal threats are made.
The discussion focuses primarily on the Texas Republican Party’s recent decision to push for censuring incumbent Republican State Representatives who voted against the party’s principles or legislative priorities.
In some cases, a censure could lead to an incumbent Rep. being removed from the Republican ballot altogether. The potential removal by the Republican Party of Texas has lead to some incumbent Reps. threatening to sue those involved with their removal from the ballot.
