LANSING, MI — The Republican National Committee's executive committee on Wednesday formally censured Michigan member Dave Agema, according to state and national party officials. Agema, a Grandville Republican, has come under fire for a series of controversial Facebook posts and statements about gays, Muslims and African Americans. “Dave Agema’s history of harmful and offensive rhetoric has no place in our party, which is why the RNC executive committee acted in the swiftest way possible to avoid giving him a platform,” RNC Chair Reince Priebus said in a statement. “We have voted to censure him, and we are urging the Michigan Republican GOP and their voters to explore options to discipline Agema for his actions. Today, we used all available tools to remove him from the committee.” |

Good on the RNC for doing this. It only took them a whole year.

David Wells, a tea party activist from West Michigan, also defended Agema this week in an open letter to Priebus and the RNC published on the Right Michigan blog. He blamed “progressive leaning, Fifth columnists” for the attacks. “Dave Agema is not a racist, never has been and never will be,” Wells told MLive on Wednesday. “Dave Agema is under attack for his beliefs in faith, family and values. That’s the only thing they’ve ever attacked him on. They’re out to destroy him. It helps the aims of the establishment Republicans who want him gone.” |
Keep up that outreach to minorities, Republicans! :cool: :D
