The future of a Montgomery County Republican's position within his party is unclear after he said he is not going to vote for candidate Donald Trump – and encouraged others in the party to not vote for him as well.
"I just wanted to do anything that I could that, you know, would prevent another Trump term," Matthew McCaffery, the Republican municipal chair in Upper Merion Township, told NBC10 political reporter Lauren Mayk.
McCaffery's words have created some drama in Montgomery County as he said he will be voting for the Democratic nominee in the upcoming election in November.
He authored an opinion piece last month for the Philadelphia Inquirer saying why he wasn't going to vote for Donald Trump and urging others to join him.
"I think his first term definitely showed us what he's capable of and I don't think the American people, at least me, I don't want to go through that again," McCaffery explained.
His actions, he said, led to a formal complaint against him and talk of disciplinary hearing if he doesn't resign.
When asked if he broke the rules or bylaws, he said he did but he shouldn't be forced to step down.
"The way I look at is: I didn't commit 34 felonies; I haven't been found liable for sexual misconduct; I haven't drug our country through one of the worst days in our history on Jan. 6," he said.
Montgomery County Republican Committee Chair Christian Nascimento declined to talk specifics about potential disciplinary action, but explained why he thinks it's important for people on the committee to stand by its candidates.

How much did they pay this brain-addled POS Quisling punk?
If the Gaslight Media told this guy to stick his head up his own @ss, he'd ask them how far.
In the Philly burbs, there are two types of people, leftist Democrats and leftists who call themselves Republicans.
Where have you gone, Mayor Frank Rizzo,

A great economy, no wars, oil independence, NATO paying their 2% of GDP, and gas under two bucks really sucked. Didn’t it?
He is a liberal Democrat Communist with an R behind his name
At one time, the Main Line suburbs of Philadelphia were filled with old money mainline Protestants and were Republican strongholds albeit mostly moderate, while the blue collar counties of western Pennsylvania were filled with union workers, often Catholic, who were staunch Democrats. The tables have turned, with Trump losing Montgomery County by 26 percentage points while outside of Pittsburgh and Erie, Western Pennsylvania is solidly Republican.
And what's his TDSFreeper handle?
The boy isn’t a Republican. He’s just another DemocRAT that’s too embarrassed to admit it.
RINO friend of Governor Shapiro in Shapiro’s home county.
Easier to commit voter fraud when you are the watchdog too.
He’s entitled to his opinion, but when a Republican chair declares he’s voting Dem, the line has been crossed. Fire the loser.
These douches get far too much ink than they are worth.
Pravda loves the turncoats.
“The way I look at is: I didn’t commit 34 felonies; I haven’t been found liable for sexual misconduct; I haven’t drug (sic) our country through one of the worst days in our history on Jan. 6.” …Neither did Trump, Nazi Mattie.
