State Republicans Select January 6th Denier as Vice Chair.

Connecticut Republicans selected Mary Ann Turner to fill the vacant vice chair position on their state central committee.

Turner, veteran leader of the Enfield Republicans, was incensed on January 6th when state Representative Devin Carney, also a Republican, condemned the insurrection at the Capitol that attempted to halt the counting of electoral votes. Turner, who was at the rally Donald Trump used to incite the rioters, accused Carney of “drinking the kool-aid.” She demanded Carney resign from his seat in the House of Representatives.

Turner told Carney he “should be praying for what little of America is left.” That ugly view of the world was endorsed and elevated by the state Republican organization on Tuesday.

Turner made an unsuccessful bid for the House in 2020.
