With less than two weeks to go before the July 21 primary election, the tension brewing within the Republican Party is on high — and it boiled over on Monday night when Tyler Bowyer, the chief operating officer of influential right-wing organization Turning Point USA, went on a Twitter rampage against two GOP lawmakers.
The episode featured naked racism, a hilarious acknowledgment of inconsistency by a Turning Point-endorsed lawmaker and a petulant un-endorsement.
And it all begs the question: What is going on at Turning Point?
Is there an actual strategy guiding the organization? Or is Bowyer just obsessed with making enemies and being the tough guy?
The targets of his frenzy were Reps. Quang Nguyen and Nick Kupper, both of whom are Republicans representing rural Arizona districts1 in western and northern Arizona — and they’re far from moderate.
