Every since Republican Party of Florida boss, state Rep. Blaise Ingoglia, won his the chairman’s race to become the next leader of the state GOP, Ingoglia hasn’t been receiving much love from Republicans around the state.
First it was Governor Rick Scott and others in the state legislature, who for whatever reason cut off funds for the state party, suggesting to donors that their money would be best spent elsewhere.Now Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has accused Ingoglia of being biased against his boss.
“The chairman of the party of Florida, who is an avid and outward supporter of Marco Rubio, gets to appoint 30 of those delegates…, I understand those are the rules but Donald Trump won. … And now, you’ve got a person who is supporting Marco Rubio who gets to appoint 30 of the 99 delegates.”
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Here is what the POLITICO said about Lewandowski’s claims:
Lewandowski’s comments were wrong on three counts: Ingoglia remained neutral before and after the state’s March 15 GOP primary; the chairman doesn’t “appoint” any delegates; and the chairman is in charge of recommending 15 — not “30 of the 99” — delegates to the state executive committee.
Lewandowski also incorrectly said Trump won Florida’s March 15 winner-take-all primary “by 23 points over all of his competitors.” Trump’s margin over second-place Rubio was 19 percentage points.What the state GOP said in response:
“The State Party and our Chairman have been consistently clear that we have and will continue to remain neutral during this process. It is unfortunate that Mr. Lewandowski went on national TV and misled viewers with inaccurate statements both on process and substance.”
I can say from personal experiences that both Lewandowski and Ingoglia have proven to be respectable, straight shooters in this political world we live in.
While I do believe that the Republican party as a whole, is out to knock off Trump, as more and more potential delegates who happen to be Trump supports keep getting passed over, Ingoglia has told me in previous conversations that he would support the eventual nominee, and would stay out of the process leading up to the nomination.
But then again, Ingoglia also told me he would lay off the Krispy Kreme donuts, and look at him.Just kidding Ingoglia, you told me you would lay off the Dunkin’ Donuts.
