The GOP has removed the GOP Charter from the GOP University of Washington for inviting conservative speakers. It’s not a question of who or a question of taste, it’s the first amendment.
The spineless, gutless GOP establishment remain tone-deaf to the their party’s rebuke made clear by the election and unwavering support of our beloved President Trump. These cowards must be shown the door. It’s not a question of taste, it’s the first amendment.
Of course, at the end of the day, this give the UW College Republicans the imprimatur ‘coolness.’ Think about it, banned by the generic GOP, that’s rad.
UW College Republicans deemed ‘inappropriate,’ will not be recognized as official chapter
By Asia Fields ,
The University of Washington College Republicans are no longer recognized as an official chapter of the national group on campus, as national and state College Republican leaders have deemed the UW group’s actions “hurtful and inappropriate.”
The national committee asked UW to take away the group’s status as a registered student organization, as first reported by The Daily of The University of Washington. The university is instead recognizing another club as an official chapter, and the UW College Republicans have the option to request to register under a new name, said university spokesman Victor Balta.
The national committee chairman contacted a university administrator last week, stating that the UW College Republicans are an “illegitimate” chapter that “continues to engage in hurtful and inappropriate conduct,” according to a letter posted on Facebook by the club. He said the club’s charter was revoked in April 2018.
The UW College Republicans have been criticized recently for social media posts deemed offensive by both state Democratic and Republican leaders, for bringing controversial speakers like Milo Yiannopoulos to campus and for hosting events that have drawn groups including the Proud Boys, a far-right group of men who describe themselves as “Western chauvinists” and are known for brawling at rallies. The club sued UW last year for trying to charge it for security fees for one such rally, and in the resulting settlement, UW agreed to pay $122,520 in legal fees.
The president of the UW College Republicans, Armen Tooloee, said Wednesday that the club didn’t know its charter was revoked. He said the Washington College Republican Federation failed to follow its own procedures. Tooloee said his club is seeking advice from attorneys at Freedom X, the California firm that represented them in their earlier lawsuit against UW.
Tooloee said national and state College Republican leaders have called the club “racist,” which he denied.
The state federation criticized the club for hosting an “Affirmative Action Bake Sale” this year, in which prices were dependent on race and gender, as previously reported by outlets including The Daily and The Stranger.
In an email sent to the club before the event, the state federation chairman said the fundraiser would reflect poorly on the College Republicans and Republican Party. That would be in violation of an agreement the club made with the state group to become recognized again, he said in the letter posted on Facebook by the UW group.
The UW College Republicans sent an email out to their subscribers Wednesday stating that they’re “under attack” and will lose their status as a registered student organization Monday. The email called on supporters to contact Caleb Heimlich, chairman of the Washington State Republican Party, to demand he voice support for their organization. Heimlich did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Registered student organizations receive benefits through the university including advertising, event planning, university email accounts, access to UW facilities and the ability to conduct fundraisers. The UW College Republicans could apply to become a registered organization without being a chapter of the College Republicans.

sue them out of existence everytime they take down Trump supporters , shut down conservative free speech and promote Left/.islam agenda.
This is how patriots fightback and win http://tinyurl.com/y8yzso88
corrupt Left/liberal media will not talk about it lest it wake up the masses to fightback !
But most conservatives won’t fund, support but prefer someone else fight their battle , while they prefer to be internet “warriers”. That is why the Left/Jihadis win.
They are united and will use all fair and foul means to destroy American law for their benefit/power grab
You are right. The Left wants its agenda more than most conservatives want their agenda. It may point to another problem that Conservatives have. They have had a very comfortable situation and do not know history.
If the Left wins it’s over for this nation.
No, it’s not over. For men like me will open the gates of Hell and let loose the Hounds of War.
RINOs still infest the Republican Party. They hate pro-American conservatives more than they hate wacky democrats.
I would be greatly appreciative if you would list names, for those of us who cont stomach the recent transition in American politics. I want to know who they are before the primaries-PLEASE.
Here is an older list of e/GOP RINO’s
The 75 Republicans who voted to fund Obama’s amnesty: Remember these names. The e/GOP House leadership was complicit also.

March 4, 2015
House Republicans, led by Speaker John Boehner, caved in to Democrat demands and passed a “clean” funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday.
The bill includes funding for Obama’s executive amnesty actions, a sticking point for conservatives.
The legislation provides funding for Obama’s move to shield about 5 million illegals from deportation.
Then remove all
BDS, SJP, and democrat organizations
Well all libturds live by their doctrine of HATE that requires them to act just like any other POS feral animal parasite!!!! Can’t fix STUPID with ignorant libturds!!!
Just another Nazi/Fascist university should have a sign enter at own risk.
University of Was卐ington ☭ollege shows its true colors.
I don’t trust these alt-right goons. Pam does. I hope she’s right.
Get with the program, Andy!! The Conservative movement is the Freedom movement in the USA and beyond! All the other leftist creeps are socialist/collectivist bots – and totally dangerous to a free society!!
UW College Republicans…
are raycist because they hosted an anti-racist bake sale … and
they’re offensive because they invited a homosexual fashionista to speak …
Insert eye roll … The New World Order GOPe worms are out of their tiny minds …
Moslems need to take over that campus. That would serve those morons right.
This University is like Canada where the Canadian Conservative party now supports the Liberals in ending free speech and controlling the News Media. One has to ask where did the Conservatives Party go and who is this so called Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer who wants conservative media silenced???. Is Canada’s scheer in the pocket of the anti Conservative GOP in the US?
I HOPE THEY CONTINUE TO EXIST AS THEIR OWN CLUB! THAT FUNDRAISER MADE A SIMPLE POINT ABOUT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION THAT EVERYBODY COULD UNDERSTAND! WOW! BASICALLY THE CLUB PISSED OFF SOME WEALTHY RINOS WHO RETALIATED AGAINST THEM!
