Robert Morrow has made the Travis County Republican Party the focus of local, national, and even international media attention. Now he's the star of the most recent episode of Austin Public Television's long-tuning "Trailer Park Show" -- which may end up being his most revealing and candid interview yet.
If you want to get a feel of what objections there are to Morrow's viewpoints, the plans he has made so far, and his knowledge-level of county party affairs, here it is in a single, one-hour video package. You can even see here that he doesn't care about the Republican Party at all, which drew a few confused looks and questions from the panel about why he ran in the first place.
We're posting this video not to draw even more attention to Morrow's unorthodox and offensive messages (the cat's out of the bag on that one), but for the reasons show host James "Pokey" Ritter laid out via Facebook:
A lot of people have asked why we would give the Robert Morrow a platform. 'I've recognized the distaste for having Mr. Morrow on the show ... Our goal is accomplish a fact-filled, informative show, in which questions and comments for Mr. Morrow will be addressed.To wit, Morrow replied:
The bottom line is: it's YOUR party. And if you want it to function, I will facilitate in this. I am not going to knock myself out over this. If people give money to keep it running, then the finances will be transparent. More concerned about [City Councilman Don] Zimmerman, [County Commissioner Gerald] Daugherty, and the 3rd Court of Appeals races than the other stuff. I will, however, use the bully pulpit of the TCRP as I see fit.Morrow, after an unexpected win on March 1, takes the chairman's seat on June 13. The current Chairman is James Dickey.
