Top GOP Official Seeks McConnell Ouster as Senate Leader

With John Boehner now departing as House speaker, an influential Republican Party official is now seeking the ouster of another GOP leader who has frustrated conservatives: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, writes the Washington Times.

“McConnell needs to resign!!” Louisiana GOP Chairman Roger Villere wrote in a Facebook posting.

WT continues:

Mr. Villere isn’t just any Republican. He’s the longest-serving state GOP chairman in the nation, with 12 years on the job, and is the vice chairman of the Republican National Committee, the GOP’s national governing body. He also serves on the RNC’s executive committee that makes decisions alongside Chairman Reince Priebus. 

“Mitch is a good and honorable guy, but the base is leaving our party,” Mr. Villere said in an interview with The Washington Times. “I’m out in the field all the time and we have all our elections this year for state offices, and it’s hurting us tremendously with our elections.”

 This is not good for Rand Paul, who has aligned himself with the criminal establishment McConnell.

With Rand floundering in the presidential race, it makes him even more vulnerable to opposition in his Senate from a  candidate who has stronger Tea Party ties and no affiliations with McConnell.
