Key NCGOP donors / fundraisers pan Whatley antics, back Jim Womack as new state party chairman
Some folks in DC and Raleigh have attempted to portray the NCGOP’s Michael Whatley as some sort of ”golden boy”. Many NCGOP heavy-hitters are starting to see Donald Trump‘s pick to head the Republican National Committee as little more than ” fool’s gold.”
The word I am hearing from both power cities is that Whatley and his allies misled President Trump and other DC-based politicos on how easy it would be to fill the state party chairmanship upon Whatley’s ascent to the RNC’s top job. Sources say people like senator Ted Budd and president Trump were incorrectly led to believe replacing Whatley would be little more than a blessing of whomever Whatley selected and NOT a competitive race.
Some in party leadership were quick to point out an election would be required to pick Whatley’s successor. Whatley’s hand-picked choice is state party executive director Jason Simmons. But now, it appears there will be at least THREE choices for NCGOP leaders to consider in replacing Whatley: Lee County chairman Jim Womack, Guilford County activist and leader Marcus Kindley, and Simmons.
A meeting is scheduled for Tuesday night in Johnston County at a venue called The Farm at Selma. The NCGOP’s executive committee — including legislators – will meet to consider the question of Whatley’s replacement.
Two key players on the state GOP’s financial side are making their opinions known about the selection of Whatley’s replacement as state GOP chairman. Jim Anthony and Pat Gavaghan, both significant and respected fundraisers and donors for the state party, are publicly expressing their disappointment with Whatley’s tenure at the state party and are encouraging the selection of Jim Womack as the new state party chairman.
Here’s Gavaghan:
Here’s Anthony:
God bless America!!!!!!!!
Selma should not be continuous or adversarial, but personalities and personal agendas plus power plays too often come into our Republican party decisions. Be informed, be forceful and vote for the most able to lead us to victory in 2024 and beyond.. Shenanigans, threats and intimidation have no place in our inter party politics.
The only saving grace is this is a secret ballot. County and District GOP leaders and legislators can vote against the wishes of the Mafia without fear of retribution.
For more than a decade, I’ve fought a cold war with the minions for Art Pope in the Legislature and the NCGOP. My single issue has been election integrity and every law Pope’s RINO legislature passed has ALWAYS included enough poison-pill loopholes to ruin the stated intent of the bill. During this 12+ year battle, I’ve watched as “the leadership” systematically drove Patriots out of the legislature if they showed more than lip-service support for the Constitution. They destroyed the careers of Republican lawmakers who dared to put the interests of Americans ahead of the Pope-Davos global elite dream of open borders and slave wages.
And in early 2022, Whatley started grifting the election integrity movement while dispatching RNC puppets across NC to lower expectations for November by preaching that we’re a “purple state.” This way they could keep their jobs after helping NC lose a few important elections.
But they failed to engineer our decline because lots of patriots ignored the loser speak and pulled up their sleeves. It’s time to reverse this globalist death spiral. So… instead of voting for Whatley’s hand-picked successor, vote for to revitalize NC Republican Party by supporting Jim Womack for Chairman!
Voter Photo ID required tonight. That’s rich.
I would go, use the name of someone on the ExCom list in a county with no one attending, and give them a fricking Voter ID Exception Form with “OTHER” marked.
So the NCGOP wants only legal voters to participate in this election.
But in public elections? Have at it, fraudsters.
The race tonight is the swamp versus the grassroots. If we have bureaucrat Simmons imposed upon us by Whatley, the party will reach a new low. Putting this on a weeknight was nothing but an effort to manipulate the result. The whole situation stinks, but hopefully the grassroots can pull off a victory. We need to end legislators as automatic voting members.
Would someone who actually wants to see Trump win this year please share this post and link with him:

If Trump wants to drain the swamp, he needs to start by getting rid of anyone who told him promoting Michael Whatley was a good idea. It appears Mr. Whatley ticked off so many NC Republicans he couldn’t even raise enough money to keep the NC party afloat without the money furnished by Ms. McDaniel and the RNC. If Trump figured out Ms. McDaniel was not his friend, how has he missed Whatley’s other anti-MAGA friends?
The NC legislature may be controlled by people who claim to be Republicans, but if they are, why is the UNC system still run by the left? Why do most NC Congress Critters have such awful voting records? Why did Sam Bankman-Fried (“mastermind” of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange scandal) and his associates, who were primarily known for supporting Democrat candidates and causes, make serious political contributions, directly or indirectly to GOP consultant Dee Stewart, NC Senators Burr and Tillis and 14 NC Congress Critters? Who knows how many other NC GOP consultants and NC state legislators got a piece of that tainted cash?
I supported Jim Womack when he ran against Robin Hayes because he was the first to seriously challenge Robin and it was obvious to me that Robin and some of his close associates were engaged in unacceptable behavior, including improperly intervening in Republican primaries. Unfortunately, when I first tried to warn other party members of the way party rules were being ignored, most of them, including people I considered friends, simply chose to ignore the facts I presented. Their “side” was winning so who cared about rules? Had it not been for Mike Causey and the FBI, Robin might still be Chairman of the NCGOP.
In my opinion, what has happened since Whatley replaced Hayes is simply more of the same, including improper intervention of party officials in Republican elections. What I observed at the last NCGOP State Convention and in recent GOP primaries was arguably even worse than what was happening when Robin was Chair, since many “new” Republicans are not strong supporters of the Republican platform or the Constitution, but the insiders who profit from the status quo simply continue to follow the Uniparty playbook: distract the public and use half-truths to hide the whole truth.
Tillis is so unpopular that even though Whatley and Simmons helped other Tillis allies push through rules changes on Friday of the 2023 NCGOP state convention to prevent a censure of Tillis, the overwhelming majority of the delegates who showed up on Saturday voted to suspend the rules so they could censure Tillis. I was actually worried that so many delegates were celebrating the censure of Tillis they might miss the chance to block the next trick the “leaders” tried to play on the delegates.
The next resolution, put forward at the 2023 NCGOP Convention by the NCGOP staff, not by a committee, included a poison pill that sounded like a talking point for those who want to deny the well-established North Carolina tradition of election fraud. The Democrats and their allies have done such a good job of rewriting history and hiding current events in NC that few people today realize the Democrats came to power by actually killing people for supporting Republicans, and they have kept power for decades through fraud, including passing legislation shortly after the 1898 Wilmington Massacre that disenfranchised most black voters.
Few people realize that the Democrats controlled both houses of the NC General Assembly for almost the entire last century, until the Republicans took the House in 1994. Sadly, as public enthusiasm for Republican policies grew, more and more Democrats decided it would be easier to win election if they pretended to be Republicans. But the real Republicans, who support the Constitution that made this country free and prosperous, know why they chose to be Republicans and reject the “bipartisan” lies advanced by the globalist enemies of the American people.
The overwhelming majority of 2023 NCGOP Convention delegates were real Republicans, and even though they were busy celebrating their victory over the Tillis supporters, they took time out to again vote overwhelmingly to suspend the rules to delete the lie slipped into a resolution to oppose rank choice voting. The good part of the resolution was passed, but the idea that the 2020 election (or any other) was free of fraud was soundly rejected.
And that was only the prelude to watching the clown show that followed when the software the delegates were forced to use, which had no audit trail (surprise, surprise), managed to blow up rather spectacularly. Voting for Chairman was such a mess it took hours. The meeting adjourned before voting discrepancies could be resolved. They never even started to elect a Vice Chair.
The resolutions presented to the 2023 NCGOP Convention are a matter of record since they were printed in the program. I have yet to see any published record of the resolutions as adopted. Could it be that Mr. Whatley and Mr. Simmons forgot to post them anywhere so the public could see what actually happened? Wonder why? When most of the delegates to the 2023 NCGOP Convention tell the people who think they run things to take a hike on two resolutions in a row, it might raise questions over who is in charge.
Which is more likely – that Whatley and Simmons had no idea the software they purchased from the consultant who helped Whatley win his first race for Chairman let people vote who weren’t even at the convention and lacked an audit trail or that they knew quite well what they hoped to buy with NCGOP party funds? Incompetent? Or worse?
Which is more likely – that Whatley and Simmons had no idea of how offensive the lie that was sneaked into a popular resolution was to those who know the extensive history of Democrat (and Uniparty) fraud that has occurred in North Carolina or that they wanted to claim undeserved credit for protecting election integrity since arriving on the scene? Or could both be true?
For the record, I strongly endorse Jim Womack and hope to see him elected State Chairman soon, preferably in a properly called election run using paper ballots at the state convention or another place and time convenient for eligible voters and other interested members of the NCGOP to attend.
To me, the 2023 NCGOP state convention was a sad display of the arrogance of power and how tone-deaf Mr. Tillis, Mr. Whatley and their allies have been in their treatment of most of the MAGA membership of the NCGOP. The more time the delegates to the 2023 NCGOP convention have to spread the word of what actually happened there and the more time Jim and Sherry’s supporters have to tell their many stories of what goes wrong when an important political party is run as a private club, the better chance Trump may realize Mr. Whatley’s elevation could cost him the election he should, by all indications, easily win this year IN THE ABSENCE OF FRAUD. Election integrity, and integrity in general, is essential for his victory.
As I have frequently stated, as repeated in a previous post (link above):
“Donald Trump may be happy with NC because he didn’t lose in 2020, but it is my belief he didn’t lose because the Uniparty didn’t need him to lose since the fraud in the other states with unexplained pauses in vote counting was adequate to secure his defeat. Letting Trump win protected the Uniparty in NC.”
Great post Fern. Thank you for the shining light on the truth.
Oh, man, the text messages coming from the ExCom meeting are interesting. I wish they’d live tweet it!
– I see Tim Moore. I’d shake his hand, but I can’t reach that low.
– X is drunk, can’t you tell? I may have to leave her here. Wine samples on the way in.
– I met Tim Moore briefly during early voting. I felt like I needed to bathe afterwards.
– We’re all having a big time in Selma… so far!
Chairman’s Vote: Simmons 289 Womack 130
The NCGOP is turning into a bunch of stubborn cows. Maybe they will have “moo sessions” at this year’s convention or better yet how about some games of “Trump Says”
Rugged individualism on full display.
Trump (ignorantly) endorses Simmons.
NC sheeple who do (or claim to) believe “In Trump We Trust “ all baaaaaa like sheep.
Makes sense for the legislators, though. They’re used to being told how to vote, how to think, and what talking points to spout by the Berger Moore Mafia.
They have that sheeple thing down pat.
Well it went about as expected.
The tea party was co-opted from the inside, so has Trump‘s movement. It’s pretty interesting to watch establishment types sprinkle a little MAGA on whatever they are selling.
I heard several prominent women make the case against Jim, because they did not like his style. Later, when Simmons was giving his nomination speech, he indicated that he was Told to Run..
If that is not an indication of style, I don’t know what is, notably lack of natural leadership.
I wish him luck and I hope he finds some charisma. because those little spice jars of MAGA everyone was dusting themselves with are not going to make everything more palatable.
The NCGOPe does not represent me, and it is nothing to be proud of.
Trump needs NC in 24. Good way to lose votes….
