GOP Seeberger vs. GOP Chairman

The El Paso Herald Post did an interview with the congressional candidates. You can click on this link to read the post, but they also have audio of the interviews.

And there is some really interesting stuff that is on that audio.

Click this link to hear the audio and read the piece.

In the audio of the interview Rick Seeberger, the Republican nominee for the 16th congressional seat can be heard saying that he called for El Paso Republican Party Chairman Adolfo Telles' removal from office.

He also complained about not being funded by the Republican National Committee (RNC).

Seeberger gives no reason as to why he was calling for Chairman Telles' removal in the interview.

However sources in the local GOP indicate that this is allegedly the result of a conversation Chairman Telles had with Seeberger some time ago, allegedly telling Seeberger to reconsider his congressional bid because they had done some preliminary vetting of him as a candidate and some now well-known information came up.

I checked the GOP social media page and there is pretty much nothing about Seeberger's campaign on the GOP page, which is obviously something you don't expect to see when he is their nominee.

So there is clearly some discontent there.

Not that it matters anyway, he's gonna get trounced by Escobar whether the GOP was all-in or not.

This is reminiscent of an old fight in the GOP back in 2010. Tim "Why settle for Silver when you can have gold" Besco was not liked by the GOP leadership nor any of the auxiliary clubs. He complained about not getting any support or help from the local GOP. He went on to out-perform other GOP opponents. Honestly he's a joke and Besco himself did nothing to help his campaign. It was the big Tea Party Revolt and that is why he did so well.

I want you to take note of one particular part of the interview. Seeberger alludes to lawsuits he's been involved in and attempts to paint it in a positive light by saying that he has successfully forced settlements. That is a strange position to take, but it alludes to something else.

I was warned about writing about Seeberger because he is "litigious".

More on that in another post.
