Texas GOP Chairman slams Texas Tribune story that suggested he improperly lobbied
Mechler said he’s done it all by the rules and “It comes as no surprise that the Texas Tribune, an organization with a history of bashing Republicans and Republican values while lifting up Democrats, is at it again.”
In
response to a Texas Tribune story this week that suggested he may have
improperly lobbied state officials about the oil and gas business, Republican
Party of Texas Chairman Tom Mechler on Wednesday told members of the State
Republican Executive Committee he wanted to “set the record straight.”
“It
is not surprising that Democrats and the liberal media are continuing to lob
false accusations at Republican leaders across the state,” Mechler
wrote in an email obtained by Quorum Report on Thursday.
“Over
the past year, they have repeatedly used false allegations and fake news to try
to discredit Republican leadership,” Mechler said.
