Confrontation:
South Carolina GOP Chair Blows Off Grassroots
August 2024
After South Carolina GOP chairman Drew McKissick lost a tussle with the Republican National Committee over seating delegates at the national convention, the National RINO Hunt Team contacted him. McKissick’s move to disqualify delegates angered grassroots Republican activists in the state. It’s not their first complaint against the high-handed establishment McKissick. So we wanted to know what efforts, if any, he makes to reach out to grassroots conservatives to ensure they are full participants in party activities.
McKissick did not respond to our queries. This evidently means he could care less about the grassroots America First wing of his party, the people who typically provide the energy and boots on the ground in state Republican Party activities.
Background and our query to McKissick follow:
South Carolina RINOs Get Hit in the Snout
On April 13, the South Carolina District 1 Convention delegates voted for delegates to go to the July RNC Convention, but the SC GOP Chairman and his state Executive Committee didn't like the America First Conservatives who won, and looked until they found a reason to throw them out of their delegate positions and replace them with the Establishment's friends. The SC party Chairman, Drew McKissick, did not allow another convention to revote, nor a meeting to allow all parties to defend their side, but the national Republican Party reinstated the elected delegates in time for them to go to the convention in Wisconsin. More here.

Attention Drew McKissick:
Reports from my South Carolina activist friends indicate you are hostile to conservative and America First Republicans and take every opportunity to cut them out of party processes. The latest example is how you maneuvered to prevent America First delegates from being seated at the Republican national convention. What efforts are you making to accommodate the conservative and America First members of the South Carolina Republican Party? Do you talk to them? If not, why not? I’d be happy to moderate a discussion.
Sincerely,
- National RINO Hunt Team

RINO Hunters Call Out Two Republicans for Voting with the Democrats on Immigration Bill
May 21, 2023
On May 11, 2023, House Republicans passed their flagship immigration bill (H.R. 2 - Secure the Border Act) by a 219-213 vote. The legislation would, among other things, end catch-and-release, and finish the wall, issues of prime importance to grassroots Republicans.
There were two skunks at the party, however. According to an article in The Hill, “Republican Reps. John Duarte (Calif.) and Thomas Massie (Ky.) were the only two GOP lawmakers to join Democrats opposing the measure.” Every other Republican voted for the bill.
Duarte, a pistachio farmer, voted against the bill because it “would hurt many families that work in our Valley and create difficulties for our food producers.” Our translation: Duarte prefers to accommodate illegal aliens and let employers skip e-verify to get cheap labor.
Massie, posing as a civil liberties purist, voted ‘no’ because he doesn’t like E-verify. Massie said it “assumes every American is an illegal immigrant unless their identity can be matched to a government database.”
The fact remains, however, Duarte and Massie both voted with the Democrats against a major Republican bill supported by the grassroots. The National RINO Hunt Team doesn’t buy the excuses and calls them both out for supporting Democrat open borders policies.
We contacted conservative groups in their districts to urge primary challenges be mounted against them both. We sent our messages to the Modesto Republican Women Federated in California and the Oldham County GOP in Kentucky. Both express support for Republican or conservative principles on their websites.
Incumbents don’t like to hear they will be primaried. Primary challenges drain their coffers and weakens them should they survive to the general election. Thus, we believe, we have taken the most effective action we could against these two GOP turncoats. This is all part of our effort to hold Republican politicians’ feet to the fire and to return the Republican Party to a party of principle, once again.

Calling Out the South Carolina GOP Establishment for Its Plan to Destroy the State Freedom Caucus
April 27, 2023
The National RINO Hunt Team confronted Rep. David Hiott, South Carolina House Majority Leader, with the questions below, but there was no response:
Rep. Hiott,
I run the National RINO Hunt Team -
http://www.liberato.us/rino-hunt.html
I’m writing to get your response to an article in The State by Republican State Rep. Joe White (HD-40) about you requiring House Republican Caucus members to sign an oath to “adhere, abide by and comply with” Rule No. 16, which says they will not campaign against any incumbent Republican representative who Is running for reelection.
Rep. White describes this as the GOP establishment’s underhanded “plan to destroy the Freedom Caucus.” The establishment instituted the plan, White says, after conservative newcomers ousted three establishment candidates.
How do you respond?
As for the new requirement, why now if not for the reason Rep. White stated? Who devised the plan? Who was consulted before it was put forth? Are you concerned ripping Republican forces apart hands power to the Democrats? What steps have you taken to find accommodation and common ground between the establishment and Freedom Caucus members?
Respectfully yours,
- (NRHT Leader)

http://www.liberato.us/rino-hunt.html
Your ‘Commitment to America’ has been criticized for offering nothing more than milquetoast platitudes and for lacking tangible policy proposals.
We criticize it for failing to promise to:
- actually cut spending, balance the budget, cap or rein in ‘mandatory’ entitlement spending, end baseline budgeting, and restore regular order to the budget process (with public hearings)
- repeal Obamacare or, at the very least, terminate the jumbo subsidies and restore the Trump administration’s 3-year period for short-term duration plans that provide an escape hatch to Obamacare
- hold oversight hearings and impeach Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas for failing to faithfully execute the nation’s immigration laws
- take on the Biden administration’s war on parents (aka ‘domestic terrorists’) and the administration’s persecution of political enemies
- upgrade our nuclear deterrent
- eradicate Wokeness in the military
- prohibit the investment of federal government retirement and Thrift Savings Plan funds in Chinese securities
- reform the FBI despite the stunning revelations from FBI whistleblowers in recent weeks
- shut down the Federal Reserve’s digital currency pilot project and prohibit further moves in that direction
- end discrimination against individuals and companies based on ESG or other social credit scoring
- end Section 230 protection for social media platforms that make editorial decisions and censor conservatives
- unwind federal involvement in K-12 education, initially through the use of block grants to return money to state control
- take on the issue of mortality in excess of 30,000 deaths possibly linked to COVID vaccines, in stark contrast to the way the swine flu vaccine was taken off the market in 1976 after only 25 deaths associated therewith
Sincerely,
- [National RINO Hunt Team Leader]

MinnGOP Decidedly Uncurious About Election Fraud In Ilhan Omar’s District
June 2022
UPDATE 7/24/22 - MinnGOP sent a fundraising appeal to its members after Ilhan Omar was arrested at a pro-abortion rally: “Please chip in online here - $50, $75 or even $100 – to stop AOC, Ilhan Omar & the Socialist Squad and their radical agenda.” So MNGOP will fundraise off of her, but won’t do anything about reports of election fraud in her district, even though it will affect the results of future elections.
The RINO Hunt Team asked the Minnesota Republican Party what action it took, if any, after the Project Veritas videos documenting election fraud tied to Ilhan Omar’s staff (here, here, and here). We put the questions below to the GOP state party chairman twice and received no answer. Evidently, the Minnesota Republican Party doesn’t care if it loses in Omar’s district to election fraud. This shows two things wrong with the Republican Establishment: 1) RINOs, for some odd reason, don’t care about election fraud, not the way the grassroots does; and 2) RINOs never want to fight, they just don’t have it in them. The GOP Establishment is a Losers Lunch Club, undeserving of the grassroots’ time, energy, boots on the ground, campaign help, or money. RINOs are the reason the country keeps moving Left, not because the Left is invincible, but because the RINOs in control of the Republican Party in most places agree with them or won’t fight them. The RINO Hunt Team has set about to change all that. Fair warning to all RINOs out there: you are fair game. We will expose you as the hypocrites you are and we will return the Republican Party to a party of principle again.

- Chairman Hann,
I publish the Liberato.US website, including the RINO Hunt page -
http://www.liberato.us/rino-hunt.html
What, if anything, did the Minnesota Republican Party do in response to the Project Veritas videos implicating Ilhan Omar’s staff in a pervasive illegal ballot harvesting and cash-for-votes scheme in her district in 2020?
I don’t see any current reference to the matter on MNGOP’s website, nor did I find any mention of a MNGOP response in a Google search.
Former President Trump called for an investigation, as did House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt and state Reps. Jim Nash and Steve Drazkowski. Minneapolis police said they were looking into the matter.
Did MNGOP issue a press release? Have the matter reviewed by an election law attorney? Call for an investigation? Collaborate on the Daudt/Nash or Drazkowski letters? Take steps to disrupt the scheme in future elections? Follow up in any way?
I intend to publish your answer. Your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
--Liberato.US
