Hat/Tip to Jenny Beth Martin at Breitbart.

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus Should Intervene In Mississippi

Jenny Beth Martin, of the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund is calling on the RNC to step in and do the right thing in the recent Mississippi election where entrenched establishment Republican, Thad Cochran resorted to race baiting and hiring Democratic operatives to cull Democrats for crossover votes.

Jenny Beth Martin, chair of the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund, is calling on Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Priebus to intervene in the Mississippi Senate race over incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran’s reliance on Democratic voters to prevail in the GOP runoff and amid emerging claims of illegitimate ballots.

“No one disputes that Thad Cochran’s vote total Tuesday was the result of crossover votes cast by Democrats — in fact, Establishment Republicans and their operatives are bragging publicly about their ‘brilliant’ strategy,” Martin said in a statement provided exclusively to Breitbart News.

And she’s reminding the GOP that McDaniel actually walked away with more Republican votes than the incumbent, Cochran.

“But the necessary logical flip side of that is that Chris McDaniel won more votes from actual Republicans than did Cochran. Thus, only a fool would dispute that McDaniel is the clear choice of Republicans in MS. He is, by all rights, the Republican nominee, regardless of what state law states. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus should address this. As Chairman of the national party, he has overall responsibility for the selection of GOP nominees across the country.”

Thus far, Priebus and the RNC have kept their distance.

During the campaign, Priebus stayed out of the race except to say in a television interview that the winner of the primary would easily prevail in the

general election, which was a political boost to state senator Chris McDaniel at the time.

Under the bylaws of the RNC, the committee cannot provide financial or “in kind” support to a primary candidate unless three-fourths of its members agree to do so.

Thursday, Scottie Nell Hughes of the Tea Party News Network also called on Priebus to intervene in a lengthy blog post.

Hughes cited “Chicago-style politics and voter intimidation at voting precincts” across Mississippi, and wrote that the GOP establishment’s tactics may have opened “Pandora’s box.”
