Showing Original Post only (View all)Man got new identity as Florida GOP secretary after attacking a girl with a hammer [View all]
This is not surprising for GOP, now the party of criminals and traitors.
https://news.vice.com/story/florida-gop-secretary-attacking-a-girl-with-a-hammer
A 28-year-old Broward County Republican is refusing to resign his position as party secretary after colleagues discovered over the weekend that he had once been prosecuted for brutally beating a high school girl with a claw hammer.
Rupert Ditsworth, who now goes by the name Rupert Tarsey, was charged with attempted murder for his 2007 attack on a fellow student at Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles. After checking into a psychiatric hospital following the attack, he escaped the most serious charges through a plea deal. He then ditched his native California for Florida and swapped Ditsworth for Tarsey apparently in honor of his grandfather Jason Tarsey, who owned the former Dunes Hotel on the Vegas strip.
Republicans say they had no idea their new colleague had a fake name and a criminal background
We were blindsided, GOP chairman Bob Sutton told Gossip Extra, an independent Florida news service cross-published by the Miami Herald. Hes a member of the Knights of Columbus, for Christs sake. And he came highly recommended by the former chair. We had no idea what his background is. We want him out but he is refusing to resign.

Ahh, he just an excitable boy. I guess he didn't get to the digging up the bones part.

Hes a member of the Knights of Columbus, for Christs sake." I bet he's also a church usher too!
