Missouri GOP Party head resigned early after troubling messages from Trump supporters
Former Missouri Republican Party Executive Director Jean Evans says she resigned a few weeks early. Her term expired this month. Evans tells Missourinet she made the decision after getting troubling messages from Trump supporters trying to keep him in the White House.
“The calls were becoming increasingly angry and demanding and threatening – never to the level where I felt like I needed to report somebody to police but just a lot of anger. It seemed inevitable, based on the anger I was hearing and the number of people going to Washington, that there could be some violence,” she says.
Messages from Trump backers prompt resignation of state GOP leader
The former head of the Missouri Republican Party said she resigned early because of disturbing and sometimes threatening messages she was receiving from supporters of President Donald Trump.
Jean Evans resigned last week, three weeks before her term was to end. She told KMOX on Thursday that calls from Trump supporters became more aggressive after the president lost the election in November.
Some callers demanded a military coup to keep Trump in office “no matter what it takes,” Evans said. Others wanted the party to bus people to protest in Washington, which it doesn’t do.
