Six former Dems ‘#WalkAway’ from party in protest
Wilson Times ^ | 10/15/18 | Olivia Neeley

Wilson voters made a statement Monday afternoon when they banded together to change their political party affiliation.

**SNIP**

Six voters headed to the Wilson County Board of Elections Monday to do just that, including 88-year-old Joyce Wells.

“I’ve never felt like this before,” said Wells, who has been a registered Democrat for 70 years. “I’m going to independent.”

Wells said the decision to switch followed Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was accused of sexual misconduct.

“I can tell you how simple it is for me,” Wells said. “I believe in the Constitution and innocent until proven guilty. And I am ashamed at my prior party for the way they’ve acted. I’ve always been a Democrat until now.”

Glenn Wells, a registered Democrat for 47 years, said he was switching his party affiliation to Republican. He said he should have done it some time ago, but he held out hope that “at some point Democrats would come to their senses.” But they haven’t, he said.

I'm sure these fine folks can also save on clothing since the black hoody and facemask will no longer be required.

We welcome these people with open arms. I’m glad they made the decision to leave the socialist party of destruction. It can only knock things down, never build anything up.

Yup, be nothing but the socialists left pretty soon. Do the dems think there’s really that many people ready to switch to socialism?

Will the Dem's repeat their identity smearing with the next candidate for the Supreme Court?

If they are so principled they would have left during the hearings instead of after their defeat. Grandstanding!

In case you’re wondering, Wilson is a small town about 40 miles east of Raleigh, NC, and is the county seat of Wilson County.

Good for these folks! We need more, more, more...

The #WalkAway March is tomorrow in DC. The entire #WalkAway event starts tonight and ends on Sunday. There are some good speakers — Diamond And Silk, Dinesh D’Souza, Stacey Dash, Herman Cain, and a bunch of others.

During rallies, RSBN has mentioned that they’ll be covering it but I wasn’t able to find any mention of it on their website. I was hoping that some media outlet would carry it. Maybe one of the C-spans.
