A top exec at a GOP women’s club who allegedly made an anti-lesbian remark has stepped down after an outcry from members.

We reported the venerable Women’s National Republican Club was mired in drama after Irene Marmott, chair of the house committee, was accused of proclaiming lesbians were not welcome as members, saying, “Of course, we don’t want them [lesbians] here.”

Marmott had denied making the statement, but president Catherine Lenihan on Tuesday night said in a statement, “The Women’s National Republican Club has been an inclusive organization since it was founded more than 90 years ago, and it remains so today . . . Irene Marmott has voluntarily and graciously resigned from the Club.”
