AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Thursday distanced the party from its newly elected leader in Travis County, a self-described caustic tweeter and author of political conspiracy books who says he uses sexually explicit language on social media to educate people.

Robert Morrow, 51, beat the current Republican Party chairman in the county in Tuesday's primary, causing some officials in the party to tell local media they are seeing if they can prevent him from taking office.

"Robert Morrow in no way speaks for the Republican Party or its values. He cannot adequately represent the Travis County GOP," said John Wittman, a spokesman for the Texas governor.

Morrow said on his Twitter feed shortly after his win, "I am the face of the Re-Pube-Licking Party," and posted an idea for a pornographic video involving former first lady Barbara Bush.

[nichomachus]

1. OMG -- Now, I'm going to have nightmares. He looks like a serial killer. nt

[forest444]

16. He's the face of today's GOP.

That's the worst part.

[Paladin]

2. Tough shit, Greg Abbott.

Robert Morrow is just the sort of public official you and other Texas republicans deserve.

[rockfordfile]

3. hahaha a nut job.

[cannabis_flower]

4. That is about the most awful

shirt and tie color combination I've ever seen.

[littlemissmartypants]

8. Yep.

The only things standing between him & an Easter basket are some eyeshadow and lipstick. Abbott deserves every inch of this rube, imo.

[Johnyawl]

20. I hadn't even noticed that...

...I was still staring at his bangs. lol Does he cut his own hair?

[LiberalArkie]

5. The hair. Why are the republicans so afraid of loss of hair?

[Shrike47]

6. Love the fringe.

He just speaks his mind, like The D.

[TexasBushwhacker]

17. I guess he's a fan of Eisenhower's

Because he has Mamie's bangs.

[noamnety]

7. What's the problem, did he forget to describe his penis size? (nt)

[red dog 1]

9. Those Re-Pube-Lickers have no sense of humor

[christx30]

10. I've been reading this guy's tweets

for the past hour, and he's hilarious. Sick, sexist, and anti-everything that isn't a female body part, but hilarious.
But it's the Trump effect. Trump is such a loud blowhard that anyone that wants to be noticed on the right has to out Trump him.

[Wednesdays]

13. I was about to say...

He's perfect for the Trump Party!

[MrScorpio]

11. This guy is a fourteen year old in a fifty-one year old body. nt

[keithbvadu2]

12. Republicans elected him fair and square.

'Preventing' him from taking office is going to set quite a precedent.

[DhhD]

14. A New Republican, has come of extremism.

[MisterP]

15. they got Ed Asner to voice a porno:

/revision/latest?cb=20130728125237

[czarjak]

18. For someone who considers Ted Nugent...

"my blood brother." You've got some explaining to do.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

19. Heard about him on the radio last night

This is what happens when low information voters can't name their party chair. And, honestly, what percentage of people can do that? He has a familiar-sounding name, so people voted for him.

This is freaking scary when you think that it could happen in our party, too.

21. Bob Morrow seems to have the same toupee artist as Mark Davis ...

Owner of my beloved Oakland Raiders ... with the worst hair this side of Lloyd Christmas ...



Big difference tho ... Mark Davis is cool AF ... but Bob Morrow ... not so much.

[awoke_in_2003]

22. It's the worst hair I've seen

since James Traficant (whom I met while he was still sheriff)
