An Austin-based political action committee has sent out “RINO alerts” calling for Republican members to hold local party chair Lee Lester accountable by “demanding that he stops attacking his own party or you’ll vote him out” in response to the Harrison County GOP executive committee’s decision to censure State Rep. Chris Paddie.
The request has been sent in the form of political mailers by Project Red Tex. The treasurer of the PAC is listed as Cabell Hobbs; Shannon Oleary is listed as assistant treasurer.
The “RINO alerts” were not only sent in reference to Lester, but also with regard to Harrison County GOP Precinct Chair Brad Barnard. Both mailers accused the men of attempting to cause division within the party instead of focusing on disputes the party has had with Texas Democrats.
“Hold Lee Lester accountable. Your Harrison County GOP Chairman Lee Lester has not censured the Texas Democrats who fled to DC to kill Texas property tax cuts and stop election integrity legislation. But Lee Lester did vote to censure conservative Republican State Rep. Chris Paddie, who just passed: Constitutional Carry, the Heartbeat bill, election integrity legislation, $1.8 billion in border security to finish the wall,” the mailer states.
The mailer says the exact same sentiments for precinct chair, Barnard. Referring to Lester and Barnard as RINOs (Republican in name only), the PAC goes on to say that if the two were real Republicans, “they would not attack their own party and hold the runaway Democrats accountable.”
“Only Rinos attack Republicans,” the mailer stated, urging fellow Republicans to unite and hold Democrats accountable, as well as the named county GOP executive members.

Good for Project Red Tex, I’ll look in to them now. Might donate, even though I’m in GA. We need a group like them here. We have a lot of Democrat sympathizers and most importantly colluders like Kemp, Raffensperger, Duncan, Ralston and Carr.
Somebody in Austin got an atomic wedgie.
Ping.

Thanks....pinging!
Paddie is my state rep and he is a snake. He was the committee chair for the TEXT referendum vote, and he sat on it and wouldn’t even bring it to the floor. He signed his own defeat long before he decided to “not run again.”
Paddie IS a Rino. I have a reminder on my fridge to donate to his rival when he’s up for re-election. He supports our tax dollars going to lobbyists against conservative ideals.
And this piece calls him a conservative. What a flipping joke
