Conservative New Hampshire Republican Party leader and corruption
fighter Andy Martin says that New Hampshire State GOP chairman Jennifer Horn should
not be criticizing Donald Trump. Criticism of candidates is a role reserved for
candidates and activists, not for official party leaders who must remain
neutral. Martin has promised to start running attack ads against Horn in
September (they may be delayed to early October) because Horn acts and
apparently believes her role as state chairman permits her to act as a roving commissioner
of morality. “In June I gave the state committee 90 days to remove Horn, and
the toadies on the GOP’s state committee have done nothing. Horn continues
running her mouth. Soon she will have alienated everyone. Horn’s big mouth is
helping to kill off the New Hampshire
primary, which is already on life support. She must be removed. Period. She has
no business distorting the facts and using Fox News’ false version of reality
to attack Donald Trump.”

IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Andy
Martin criticizes New Hampshire state GOP chairman Jennifer Horn for attacking
Donald Trump
Andy
says “Horn has no business running her mouth attacking presidential candidates”
Andy
says Horn is acting as a stooge for Fox News; Megyn Kelly was a character
assassin during the faux Fox news “debate” and Kelly should not be immune from
return fire by Trump
Andy
will start running attack ads on New Hampshire media in October seeking to
remove Horn as chairman
(Chicago , IL )
(August 10, 2015 )
DISCLAIMER:
I am not supporting Donald Trump as a candidate and have no
connection with Trump’s campaign. I am an independent media and conservative
analyst and activist. Because of my unalterable opposition to Jeb Bush, I am
not supporting or endorsing any presidential candidate. I will support any
Republican candidate for president except Jeb Bush.

Dear Granite State Republican Party committee member:
When the cat’s away the mice will play. It seems that every
time I leave New Hampshire on an
anti-corruption mission Jennifer Horn starts running her mouth and attacking
some candidate or other (see link below).
In June I gave you 90 days to remove Horn or I would take to
the airwaves to seek her removal. Well, approximately 60 of those 90 days have
passed, and either in late September or early October my attack ads against
Horn will begin.
Megyn Kelly is everytign Horn says Kelly is (“intelligent,
educated...” On that much we agree. But Kelly is also a faux “journalist” who
was used last week by the powers-that-be behind Fox News to assassinate the
character of Donald Trump.
Kelly cherry-picked some old comments Trump may have made
years ago (Kelly produced no evidence of when or where the comments were made)
and used them to suggest Trump is anti-woman. I see no evidence whatsoever that
Trump is anti-woman. Trump is used to trash talking in his television role and
he is having something of a difficult transition to presidential politics where
different standards apply.
Now let me be clear. Trump alone is responsible for his
language. I would not have spoken as he did. I would have slammed Kelly even
harder, but with more polite words. But Trump’s language is not the issue.
The state GOP constitution and bylaws mandate that party
officials remain neutral. When you are slamming a presidential candidate you
are violating party neutrality. In June Horn attacked a sitting GOP congressman
over an opaque campaign finance dispute. Horn simply can't stop herself from
running her mouth.
Honestly, I have no problem with Horn mouthing off and
expressing her opinions as an ordinary Republican. I am not a party official
and I express my own opinions freely. You know me for that. But a party
chairman surrenders his or her free speech in order to become a neutral party
leader.
Horn falsely claims she has a “responsibility as chairman”
to attack candidates who displease her (see link below). She has no such
“responsibility.” Are you aware of any such “responsibility” in our party's
bylaws? She voluntarily surrendered some of her free speech rights when she
accepted the role of neutral party chairman.
Particularly when Trump was ambushed by Kelly’s distortions
and misrepresentations, along with those of Bret Baier and Chris Wallace, Trump
has a right to hit back and hard. Fox News has a constitutional right to act on
a biased basis. But then Fox News cannot claim to be a neutral and impartial
“news” organization. Asking “tough” questions does not translate into asking “dirty”
questions, or into attacking one candidate (Trump) while shielding another
candidate from even worse misbehavior (Jeb Bush).
Fox News did not act impartially last Thursday. Fox News
employees were doing the bidding of Fox News owners and executives who dislike
Trump. It’s a “New York thing,”
having nothing to do with the presidential race.
I urge you to remove Horn before my broadcast ads seeking
Horn’s removal start running.
The New Hampshire
primary is already on life support due to the power grab of Fox News to arrogate
the authority over who can debate and who can be a national candidate. Horn is
just helping Fox News drive our primary into the ground so Fox News can make
millions by hijacking the audience.
Please have the backbone to remove Horn.
As I said at the outset, Horn has no right to decide who is
and who is not a candidate, or how national candidates conduct themselves. In 2014
Horn ran a rigged primary for the U.S. Senate; she imported a Massachusetts
liberal to run as a Granite State
senate candidate and tried to run other local candidates out of the race; and
she alienated conservatives who did not support the phony candidate. We lost a senate
seat that a local Granite Stater could have won. If Horn had run an honest and
impartial primary, all of the candidates would have joined together and worked
together to elect the winner. We did not.
Horn is a failed leader whose approach to politics continues
to divide us and to drive the party into the ground. How long are you going to
continue to tolerate her antics?
Sincerely,
Andy
