The former president was angered by Charlie Spiesās criticism of his false 2020 election-fraud claims.
The top lawyer at the Republican Party is resigning after he cited conflicts with his other work obligations and afterĀ Donald Trump grew angry about his criticism of the former presidentās false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, people familiar with the situation said Saturday night.
The lawyer, Charlie Spies, is a long-respected GOP election operative who was hired by Trumpās top lieutenants in March after the former president engineered a takeover of the Republican National Committee, which in recent years has been the partyās main operation in both fundraising and field operations.
Trump had approved of the hiring but later learned about additional comments the lawyer had made. Spies in the past had worked for, either directly or indirectly, former Florida governor Jeb Bush Ā®, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Florida Gov.Ā Ron DeSantis Ā®. He was liked by Trumpās top advisers, who orchestrated his hiring even though they knew he was skeptical of Trumpās false claims of a stolen election.
I have no idea what that stands for, but I imagine something along the lines of āGroup of Queer Primatesā.
Itās the GOP, but they believe in Qanon. Which describes a worryingly large amount of the party.
Donāt forget that they will totally deny that accusation:-)
