"Or You Can Get the Hell Out" - RPT Chairman Abraham George
Frustrated with an SREC Member, Abraham George seemingly had enough.
Yesterday, RPT Chairman Abraham George became frustrated with SREC Member Jeremy Story’s resolution and at one point, told him he could “get the hell out.”
The incident occurred after Story introduced a resolution that, according to George, would reallocate funds from donor money originally given to the Republican Party of Texas for its state convention.
George reprimanded Story, at one point telling him, “This resolution is how we lose donors” and “This is not how we do things.”
Story tried insisted that George had misunderstood the intent of his resolution, but George refused to let him explain.
George: “either you act like a responsible member of your SD…”
Story: “I am a responsible member.”
George: “OK, then do it, the way that…that you are representing your SD, or you can get the hell out.”
Current Revolt reached out to Jeremy Story who provided the text for his resolution:
Can you add a third option, “George is ghey?”
This captures the real tension in party governance beautifully. What's interesting is that George's reaction highlights how donor relationships trump internal policy debates when finances are at stake. The fact that he wouldn't even let Story expalin the resolution suggests the optics of touching donor funds matter more than the actual mechanics of budget allocation. It's a reminder that perceptions of fiscal stewardship can override even well-intentioned propsals within party structures.
