RNC Chair Finally Finds Voice, Tells Agema to Resign

[William769]

After weeks of growing controversy over the numerous antigay comments made by Republican National Committee member Dave Agema, the RNC's chairman today said the Michigan politician should resign.

RNC chairman Reince Preibus and Michigan GOP chair Bobby Schostak both called for Agema's resignation during the RNC's winter meeting in Washington, D.C., reports the Washington Blade.

Preibus's comments come more than a week after former Republican and GOProud founder Jimmy LaSalvia told The Advocate's Lucas Grindley that Priebus "talks a good game, but doesn't have the balls to do what it takes to actually change things."

Michigan's Republican governor, Rick Snyder, also condemned Agema's antigay comments, calling the remarks "wrong, extreme, and discriminatory."

Of course actions speak louder than words.

1. Agema issued a press release...

this afternoon, he's refusing to resign:

Apologetic Dave Agema won't step down, says he's drawn voters to GOP

2. I know he won't.

I find it fascinating though the words the RNC chair speaks but will be weak on action, any action.

Thanks for the link.

3. He drew plenty of voters to the RNC...but did they want them? nt

4. Depends who you ask

Preibus, not publicly (my view, he is not willing to be that open). Agema, yup, absolutely, fellow travelers and all that.
