A local Republican Party leader in Kentucky has resigned her position in act of protest against Sen. Mitch McConnell.
After serving on the Daviess County Republican Partys leadership team for almost three years, Owensboro native Barbara Knott had enough.
She resigned on July 10 and the reason was simple; Knott cannot support Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell this fall.
I have resigned from the executive committee of the Republican Party because I will not support Mitch McConnell, Knott, chair of the Owensboro Tea Party, said in a telephone interview. I have a big 4×8 sign in my front yard that says Retire Mitch. Its going to stay there through the election. I will not vote for that man.
Knott does plan to come out to support other Republican candidates. But in terms of McConnell she is just fed up despite voting for him in the past.
