A bid to remove a Texas county GOP leader from his post because he is Muslim has been rejected.
The Tarrant County Republican Party voted on Thursday to keep Dr. Shahid Shafi in his post as vice chairman, according to the Star-Telegram.
In a video posted on the Star-Telegram's website, Mike Snyder of the Tarrant County Republican Party announced, "the vote total was 139 to support Dr. Shafi and only 49 to reject him."
Snyder went on to say, "tonight's vote demonstrates the majority of Republicans in Tarrant County stands with Dr. Shahid Shafi. And on the firm foundation of religious freedom memorialized in the Declaration of Independence."
Following the vote, Shafi said, "our union is a little more perfect today. And it's time for us to put those divisions to rest."
CNN has reached out to the Tarrant County Republican Party to independently confirm.
In the weeks leading up to the proposal to remove Shafi, Republicans on the county, state and national level, rallied around the vice chairman. Shafi was appointed in July. His ratification received near unanimous support from the group's executive committee.
The lone dissenter, however, created a small group that brought forth a motion to oust Shafi, Jeremy Bradford, executive director of the Tarrant County GOP, told CNN. Tarrant County includes the city of Forth Worth. Sources within the party say the dissenter is Dorrie O'Brien, who has been outspoken on Facebook about her concerns about Shafi's religion.

I think I'm good with him.
Also, he's from India, not known as a hotbed of Islamic extremism.
Good call on Tarrant County GOP.

Exactly. I’d be shocked if they were going to oust a solid conservative just because he was a Muslim. This is CNN playing the “Republicans hate Muslims” propaganda game.
Drip, drip, drip.
Tarrant County Texas is a cesspool of vote fraud.
Because everyone on the party executive supported him with one exception. And the reason she gave was because he's a Muslim. That's why.
