GOP chief wants to make Kansas 'hostile' to push out 'bad people' he disagrees with Opinion
When the Kansas Legislature spent its 2023 session focused on the culture wars with bills aimed at keeping transgender kids out of sports competition, and penalizing doctors who provide gender-affirming care we occasionally wondered: Are the states right-wing Republicans actively trying to chase away the Kansans who dont share their narrow viewpoint?
We now know the answer to that question.
The nonprofit Kansas Reflector this week reported on a newly revealed recording of Adam Peters, the Ellis County GOP chairman, who during a March 2 meeting in Hutchinson made plain his desire to purge the state of any Kansan who doesnt subscribe to his conservative beliefs. He railed against the degradation of society caused by so-called critical theory, which he blamed for crime, suicide and racial strife.
His solution? Harassment.
