Round One

Boner Candidate #1: UTAH COUNTY REPUBLICANS ARE Sooooooo FUNNY!

Some members of the Utah GOP State Central Committee, including the State Secretary and a Utah County GOP leader, seem to have no problem with making nazi-themed jokes inside a private Facebook page. Josh Daniels, the Utah County GOP vice-chairman, responded to a post about a planned cookout and celebration following Saturday’s state central committee meeting with a Nazi joke seemingly aimed at the organizers of Count My Vote. “Speaking of pork…we should lave a Nazi themed party with polish dogs or weenies and sauerkraut and call it ‘kraut my vote,'” wrote Daniels on the UTGOP SCC – OFFICIAL Facebook page. “Kraut my vote” is a reference to the Count My Vote petition initiative which provides an alternative path to the primary ballot for candidates outside of the traditional convention route.
