A top member of the Massachusetts Republican party is stepping down over what he called a "scurrilous and demeaning" post about him.
MassGOP Vice Chair Tom Mountain announced the move in an email to Republican State Committee, but fell short of naming the website the post appeared on, the Boston Globe reported.
“For the good of our Party, I will be stepping down as MassGOP Vice Chair immediately to focus on an effort to clear my name,” Mountain wrote in the e-mail, obtained by the Globe. “During the past few months of turmoil at the MassGOP, I’ve consistently said that incapable officers should step aside. Regardless of the truth about what happened, this blog post, and the conspiracy behind it, has rendered me incapable of serving as an effective officer of the MassGOP.”
