Tarrant County Tea Party Group Opposes GOP Rep. Who "Normalizes" Gays

[#TexasPolitics365] 

A Tarrant County tea party group won’t be attending a February dinner for the local Republican Party, sharing an article that promotes the idea the event’s keynote speaker is “trying to force-feed the normalization of homosexuality within the party.”

The excerpt, titled, "Tarrant GOP Taps Homosexuality Promoting Millennial for Keynote Speaker," was from the conservation online paper, "Current Revolt."

It was shared in a Jan. 3 post on True Texas Project’s Facebook page in reference to U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn, a 25-year-old Republican who recently won a North Carolina House seat.

Cawthorn is the keynote speaker for the Tarrant County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner on Feb. 6. In a recent interview with Fox News, Cawthorn said he wanted the Republican Party defined as the “Freedom Party.”

Last week, Cwthorn called those who participated in the Capitol riot, "disgusting and pathetic."

The Tarrant County tea party organization recently changed their name to True Texas Project as part of a rebranding effort.
