The Tompkins County GOP recently voted 7-5 for an official stance of “No Confidence” in Speaker of the House John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Legal Insurrection broke the story:
In what may be the first such action since the so-called “Cromnibus” and DHS funding passed, on Thursday night, March 12, 2015,the Tompkins County (NY) Republican Party Executive Committee voted “No Confidence” in the Congressional leadership.
Tompkins County is in the Southern Tier of upstate NY, a mostly rural county that includes the liberal City of Ithaca. It is in the NY-23 District that overwhelmingly voted for Republican incumbent Tom Reed in the 2014 election.
“This no confidence vote sends a message that is loud and clear. A message that should resonate with Republicans across the state. We demand that our elected officials abide by the Constitution and the Republican Platform.” said Rocco Lucente, chair of the GOP in the Town of Ulysses, speaking on behalf of himself as an executive committee member in attendance and not for the Tompkins County Republican Party.
What do readers think? If you are a Republican and/or conservative, do you have “no confidence” in the leadership of Boehner and McConnell?
