Has the NJGOP gone “Toxic”?

Jersey Conservative is now read by thought leaders in key 2024 primary states.

A telephoned threat to a local Republican leader has folks wondering.
 
The NJGOP under Chairman Bob Hugin employs a stable of legacy consultants and operatives. These folks are employed regardless of merit. Whether they win or lose doesn’t matter. And apparently, they are immune from criticism for even the most bizarre behavior.
 
On July 10th, correspondence was circulated to GOP leaders as well as the Trenton-based blogs. It brought to their attention the story of a local Republican municipal chairman who was hosting a fundraiser for Republican legislative candidates at his family restaurant.  
 
The local Republicans involved with the event reached out to the NJGOP to “coordinate efforts with the NJGOP to hold a vote-by-mail training session at the event.” As the event approached they were anxious to receive a reply.
 
Eventually, the owner of the family restaurant – the Republican municipal chairman hosting the event – did receive a telephone call. The call was made on behalf of the NJGOP but came from an operative affiliated with political consultant Chris Russell and the Ciattarelli for Governor campaign.
 
The caller left a recorded message for the restaurant owner/ local Republican municipal chairman.  We have confirmed with the relevant parties that the call is genuine, and that the caller has admitted to leaving the message. 

Harsh.
