Prominent Republican Leader says OTC Republican Party corrupted Caucus process
The following is a conversation by phone call between concerned citizen Carol Hexum and Republican Party State Executive Officer for the 7th Congressional District Bill Nichol.
00:30 (When asked if he knew that the process after the caucus was illegal?) “I know! I know! I think I actually know just as much as you do about it, and I agree with you.”
01:45 “We tried to get OTC Leadership to cooperate with this. As far as I’m concerned I lay this at the feet of the OTC leadership, and the Party. We tried! Jordan’s got a lot of support within the Party. One vote in the senate makes so big of a difference, nobody is willing to take a chance.”
03:00 Carol says: Jordan has been elected through an illegal process. Why do you think that honest people would want to support someone who has been dishonest? Do we need to just support the endorsed candidate or do values and principles not matter anymore? Bill’s reply: “It does. I agree with all the crummy stuff that you said. All indications don’t support Jordan as being an honest and upright person.
04:18 (Concerning an independent audit) “I was pushing for this from the beginning, but I just couldn’t get anybody else to go with me. I kick myself for not making a bigger deal about this.
05:36 “The right way doesn’t win in a timely matter every time. I’m dealing with the same thing myself, I don’t’ want Jordan in there, but I don’t want to lose the senate and have Walker in there.”
06:10 (concerning the release of the original delegate lists) “That’s going to happen. It’s going to happen, but it ain’t going to happen before the election.”
07:00 “This is the first time we’ve had the chance to hold both the house and the senate, and the governorship. That’s never happened in MN. since the 70’s.
10:10 (when confronted with OTC’s blatant disregard for the rules in hand-picking delegates) “I didn’t cheat! I didn’t run the OTC Caucus, I had nothing to do with that!
11:42 “If he’s found out, and when we dig into things, and that will happen, that’s not going to go away. His base is going to erode, and the truth will out; his wife (OTC Secretary) was involved, his best friend (Acting OTC Chair) was involved. He can’t escape it. So when that happens that’s when it begins.
12:28 People want truth in government. I want truth. Truth in government is what the big quest is, but right at this moment it’s winning, and right after that we’re going to get after it.
14:34 We’re going to have to disagree on the process of this. I agree with you, but for right now winning is more important than having a perfect election. You can quote me on that and tell everybody “well, he’s a sell out and he believes in winning over truth, and that’s fine. But the big thing when we win all three the good that’s going to come out of that is going to far outweigh everything else.
