An interesting scandal is unfolding over in the California Republican Party, involving its chair, Ron Nehring. As the SacBee reports<\/a>, a San Diego Republican official is the target of a removal effort for asking questions about charges Nehring was “brutalizing a former romantic partner”:<\/p>\n

This week the San Diego Republican Party executive committee, led by Tony Krvaric, chair of the San Diego party, called a meeting for Feb. 8 to discuss the removal of Michael Crimmins, an ex-officio member of its central committee. The executive committee recommended Crimmins’ expulsion, in part for sending an e-mail to state party leaders that raised concerns about behavior by Nehring and Krvaric.<\/p>\n

Crimmins, a retired Marine Corps officer and congressional candidate in the 53rd District in San Diego County, referenced allegations, initiated in an anonymous e-mail broadly disseminated to the party and media last fall, that Nehring brutalized a former romantic partner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Keeping it classy, Nehring is also accused of trying to intimidate the woman in question into staying silent:<\/p>\n

A separate, anonymous counterpunch was distributed via e-mail Thursday among party activists announcing a news conference after the Feb. 8 meeting that purportedly would call for the removal of Krvaric and Nehring from their posts. One justification, the e-mail stated, was that the two men allegedly harassed Nehring’s former partner for considering bringing her story to legal authorities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This isn’t exactly a “pass the popcorn” moment since we are dealing with allegations of undefined brutality against a woman, but it is revealing that Republicans are trying to keep this as quiet as possible. Instead of ensuring Nehring answers all questions, they’re trying to shut down any discussion of the matter.<\/p>\n

Typical, really.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
