UPDATE. Low: Republican State Central Member on Harris. Shares Racist Post. Witkos Calls for Tutunjian to Resign.

Richard Tutunjian is a member of the Republican State Central Committee from the 8th District.

UPDATE. State Senator Kevin Witkos, who represents the 8th Senate District, provided this statement in response to the above-post:

“The Facebook posts shared by an 8th district state central committee member have no place in our public discourse and I condemn them wholeheartedly. I abhor the fact that instead of focusing on policy disagreements and arguing the best way to improve our communities, state, and national, political discourse has descended this low. Whether these posts are created or shared by a state central member, or even our president, they bring us all down and do not reflect the values that so many of us hold dear. I have called upon Rich Tutunjian to step down in his role as a state central member for the 8th district”
