We all knew it would happen, but it looks like it is coming to fruition sooner than I thought. Republicans in the First Congressional District are starting to implode under the stress of a heated primary.

Majority in Mississippi posted about an email sent from the chairman of the Prentiss County Republican Party. From that post:

The e-mail raised the possibility that McGlowan was “a plant for Travis Childers,” adding, “Angela has previously stated that she intended to run a positive campaign focusing on the defeat of Travis Childers. Good advice that she needs to heed.”

He called on her to withdraw from the race if she can not support the eventual GOP nominee. “I, for one, believe McGlowan should run her race in a respectable manner, keep her mouth shut and support the Republican nominee whether it be her, Ross or Nunnelee and if she can’t do this we as a party should demand that she withdraw from this race today,” Gray said.

The Prentiss County Republican said in his email that McGlowan must not have heard of Reagan’s 11th Commandment for Republicans: Do not speak ill of fellow Republicans. This was, ironically, before he suggested that McGlowan keep her mouth shut, demanded that she withdraw from the race and accused her of being a plant by Congressman Childers.
