Delegates gathering for the Republican Party of Texas convention in San Antonio today are being treated to a series of emails from a shadowy, anonymous group attacking Chairman James Dickey.
Dickey is facing a challenge at this week's convention from Cindy Asche, who says she has no connection to the emails, which are being sent from "Texas Conservatives for Liberty and Freedom." Delegates and political observers alike say they've never heard of the group before now, leaving many to speculate that it was created for the sole purpose of influencing delegates this week.
The emails accuse Dickey of "misplacing thousands of dollars" when chair of the Travis County GOP and lying to delegates. The accusations are accompanied by a graphic image showing Dickey splattered in blood.
For her part, Asche is disavowing the remarks, telling EmpowerTexans' Texas Scorecard that she does not condone the language used by the emails, but, "I do believe there is a history as evidenced by court documents of knowingly and intentionally misleading investors, and a lack of integrity when it comes to our current Chair."
