The TX GOP Executive Committee is meeting (on Zoom) to talk through the logistics of an emergency virtual convention. "There are many of us on the SREC that are wary of the virtual, for many reasons," says one. you and me both sister.
"There is a total lack of decorum in the chat, so we're going to shut that down," says Chairman James Dickey.
"Can you just censor the people that were acting like children?" asks one. "99 percent of us were behaving." Dickey says no.
A woman interrupts an ongoing vote to ask what the vote is for. A man, mic not muted, says "Oh, my god..." quite loudly.
"I'm not sure how I voted to be perfectly honest"
"Mr. Chairman this option of a virtual meeting will NOT work !! The Democrats will hack our convention and this will not work!!" says Mary Eagle in the livestream chat.
The meeting is standing at ease. Gail Stanart, wife of former Harris County elections chief Stan Stanart, appears on screen on her cell phone, singing Happy Birthday to an unknown person. She is eventually muted.
A vigorous argument has broken out in the meeting and Gail Stanart can still be heard in the background talking to... a grandson?
