Trump “is very disappointed in Matt’s duplicity,” Trump’s Ohio director, Robert Paduchik, told the GOP’s state central committee in an extraordinary letter today — a mere 24 days from the election.
“Mr. Trump told me, ‘this is why people have lost faith in the establishment and party leaders,’” Paduchik added to the 66-member group, which picks the chairman.
Trump and Paduchik discussed what to do about Borges on Trump’s jet as they flew Thursday between campaign appearances in Columbus and Cincinnati.
“It’s no great secret that Chairman Borges was never fully on board, but his actions over the last week demonstrate that his loyalties to Gov. John Kasich’s failed presidential campaign eclipse his responsibility as chairman of the Ohio Republican Party,” Paduchik said in the letter. “The chairman is also driven by an apparently insatiable need for publicity.”
