NextImg:Pennsylvania county 'country club' GOP is accused of thwarting MAGA upstart

Republican activists in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, are calling out the establishment county GOP for allegedly blocking MAGA influence through various activities.

Andy Meehan, a conservative activist, told the Bucks County Courier Times that the Bucks County GOP has left out the MAGA wing through various "corrupt activities" to allow the "country club" Republicans to stay in power.

One of the biggest claims Meehan makes in his report about the county GOP and party chair Pat Poprik is that as many as 100 to 200 seats of the 600 committee seats are being left open. Many allegedly come from more MAGA-friendly parts of the county. Meehan alleges the empty seats prevent a two-thirds quorum to be achieved and blocks the by-laws from being changed.

“If Pat Poprik and the establishment up there had a hundred new committee people from down here who want to run America First candidates, it’s a threat to their power,” Meehan told the outlet.

Poprik wrote off Meehan's claims as "lies" and said he is being retaliatory against the party after he was allegedly caught secretly recording a meeting where he was being screened as a potential congressional candidate. Pennsylvania has a two-party consent recording law, meaning both parties must consent to a conversation being recorded.

“The truth is, it’s 100% a lie,” Poprik told the Courier Times. “He’s truly a pathological liar.”

She also says the reason so many seats remain vacant has to do with the difficulty of recruiting people to fill the committee seats.

Bucks County has narrowly voted Democratic in every Presidential election since 1992 but is represented by centrist Republican Brian Fitzpatrick in the House of Representatives. State House and Senate seats for the county are fairly evenly divided between the two major political parties, but Republicans hold more state House seats in the county.
