Election 2919: County Republicans kick Virginia state senator out of organization.

tate Sen. Amanda Chase (R-SD11) – so bad, even her own party wants nothing to do with her! See below for the press release from the Democratic Party of Virginia, per the breaking story in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Also, for more information on Chase and her deplorable behavior, see Audio: Sen. Amanda Chase (R) Says “I Wish [NRA] Would Write *Me* a Check for $200,000”, Right-Wing Republican Virginia State Senator Amanda Chase: “It’s those who are naive and unprepared that end up raped”, “I Call My Revolver My Little Equal Rights Amendment”; State Senator Amanda Chase (R-11th) Claims Capitol Police Are Partisan Liars; Far-Right, Pistol-Packing Virginia State Sen. Amanda Chase Praises “Make Bang Bang” Gun Guy’s “great group who believe in our constitution and rights as Americans.” and Far-Right Virginia Sen. Amanda Chase: “The ERA Amendment is nothing more than a ploy by the left to eliminate gender altogether.”

Update: The Richmond Times-Dispatch has just reported that the Chesterfield County GOP HAS KICKED SENATOR AMANDA CHASE OUT OF THE COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Amanda Chase’s Offensive Behavior Is Pushing Away Fellow Republicans, Swing Voters

GOP Senator Amanda Chase likes to think that her public fights with Virginia Capitol Police, inflammatory ads that call for violence against gun violence prevention groups, and Trump-like offensive behavior endear her to Republicans. But the cracks are starting to show in the 11th District where she is facing a tough challenge from Democrat Amanda Pohl, who outraised Chase by $50,000 in the last quarter. New reporting from the Richmond Times-Dispatch shows local Republicans are sick and tired of Chase’s combative behavior that gets nothing done for their district, and some are refusing to vote for her in November.
