Whitbeck to headline anti-GOP Establishment event in Falls Church

Not four days since lecturing RPV First Vice Chair Mike Thomas and 4th District State Central Committee member Carole de Triquet to ignore the racist comments of a Republican blogger on a site that he guest writes on, RPV Chairman John Whitbeck is ignoring his own advice and headlining a divisive Tea Party backed event entitled “Can we save the GOP? Can the Establishment Stop Us from Saving the GOP?”

The event, sponsored by the Northern Virginia Tea Party, is billed as a “no hold barred” [sic] discussion about the future of the GOP.  Virginia Tea Party Federation leader Mark Lloyd is also to speak.

Back in June, Chairman Whitbeck told members of the SCC before they took any political action “[w]ill this help us expand our majorities in the General Assembly in November and take back the White House in 2016?”  He likes to remind them of this any time he faces any criticism from inside the RPV establishment.

So perhaps he can explain exactly how attending an event billed as a discussion of how to stop “the Establishment” help expand our majorities or winning the White House?  Isn’t this just another attempt to divide the party?

Whitbeck also lectured Thomas and de Triquet in his letter of earlier this week about party unity, saying “[i]t is my opinion that this is not the time to enter into a public fight with the potential of dividing our Party so close to November[,]” and “[w]e need to stay united for both the Fall elections and the presidential election next year.”

It is the height of hypocrisy to criticize Republican Party leaders who were trying to expose racism within the party and call public attention to the fact that we don’t support that kind of thing with an argument that doing so harms party unity, then turn around and headline an event designed to divide the party.

Continuing to lend credence to this false dichotomy between “the Establishment” and “the Grassroots” is even worse than his throwing his supporter Jeanine Martin under the bus to try to bury this story before it gets even more media coverage than it already has (and our coverage counts, John).

It’s time for Chairman Whitbeck to take his own advice – stop dividing the Party and start doing your job.
