Local Virginia GOP Chairman Shuts Down Questions on Democrat Election Fraud Scandal as RINO Supporters Cheer
A Breitbart News reporter was arrested and ruled “inadmissible” by the newly elected chairman of a local Virginia GOP committee when asked whether Democrats should have been allowed to vote in his election.
The Warren County Republican Committee (WCRC) has been embroiled in controversy since its Feb. 12 mass meeting, which was marred by a fraudulent election riddled with statutory violations, known Democrats inexplicably receiving ballots, and true conservatives being turned away at the door for alleged “fire code” violations.
Whistleblowers who previously radius Breitbart News said the event was like a “Trojan horse,” reporting that RINOs — or Republicans In Name Only — played a dirty role in organizing the meeting to allow Democrats to vote for new WCRC chairman David Silek.
Silek, who called “right-wing extremists” and “Nazis” for protesting a local library’s stock of books promoting transgenderism in children, was running against Scott Lloyd, a former Trump administration director and devout Catholic.
Some of Silek’s top RINO allies, including Warren County Sheriff Crystal Cline and County Supervisor Hugh Henry, have publicly shared their anti-Catholic views, with Cline blasting calling them “radical” online for being against transgender children’s books, and Henry reportedly said so to remark at a board meeting, there is a “Catholic problem that needs to be resolved.”
While Lloyd lost the presidential election with 206 votes to Silek’s 225, he has since filed a call with the signatures of dozens of supporters and signed affidavits attesting to the disorganization and corruption displayed on election night and at subsequent meetings, where former members discovered they had been kicked out even after paying their dues.
Breitbart News video producer Matthew Perdie, who was among dozens of largely conservative and Catholic people who were kicked off the committee without explanation, confronted Silek at a March 24 WCRC meeting attended by Del. Delores Oates (right) and State Senator Timmy French (right) as guest speakers.
“Do you think Democrats should be allowed to vote in Republican committee elections? » » asked Perdie.
French looked at Oates, who just looked around the room, and stumbled in his response.
“I mean, you know, it’s an open election, it’s an open election,” he said. “I know they could – they could change an application. So, but in Virginia we don’t have – you’re not a registered Democrat or Republican.”

While it is true that the Commonwealth is among the approximately 30 percent of states that do not ask a party affiliation question during voter registration, the Republican Party of Virginia (RPV) determines who is eligible to vote in committee elections by having participants sign their names. certificates pawning vote Republican in November and swear they have not participated in other parties’ nominating processes for the past five years.
According to numerous witnesses present at the WCRC mass meeting on February 12, several confirmed Democrats who came to support Silek received ballots without having to sign an attestation form.
Other whistleblowers, who were real Republicans, said Breitbart News figures such as Sheriff Crystal Cline and her husband, George Cline, blocked them from entering the room to vote — even after a number of people who had already voted had left the building.
Sheriff Cline was also accused of assaulting someone who was trying to vote that evening, as reported by Breitbart News. reported in the previous cover.
Perdie continued to pressure local lawmakers and Silek at the March 24 meeting, saying that “the Virginia Republican Party has its own rules for people who should and should not vote,” and dozens of people who are “consistent Democratic voters” were left with ballots at the mass meeting.
“So, what do you think?” » asked Perdie.
Silek responded, “I believe your question is out of order for the purposes of our representatives in Richmond and their report here on the legislative session. »
“Well, don’t they have the right to give their opinion on this matter?” » asked the Breitbart News producer.
“I don’t want to rule you out of order, sir,” Silek responded, receiving applause from the new WCRC members in the audience who were chosen by the RINO camp and who support their questionable positions, including support for the library providing LGBTQ+ literature to children.

The video shows Silek’s supporters applauding as he suggests Perdie would be fired if he didn’t stop asking questions about what happened at the mass rally. Crystal Cline is seen next to her husband, cheering while wearing her sheriff’s uniform.
Lloyd’s appeal will be heard by the Virginia Sixth District Republican Committee on Tuesday, March 31, at 7 p.m. in the Augusta County town of Fisherville, about an hour and a half from Warren County. The fact that the meeting takes place in the middle of Holy Week, just before Easter, could make it difficult to get enough members to attend, an internal source told Breitbart News.
To achieve a quorum at the appeal hearing, at least one-third of the Sixth Congressional District Republican Committee must be present. If a quorum is not reached, the matter may have to be heard by the full State Central Committee.
Asked about the WCRC mass meeting, Sixth Congressional District Republican Committee Chairman John Massoud acknowledged it was a “hectic event” and confirmed he was aware “at least three” Democrats were in attendance.
Sheriff Cline was also recently confronted by Breitbart News at a local meeting hosted by Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Cheryl Cullers, who happens to be the person who quietly announced at the mass meeting that WCRC had suddenly reduced its membership cap from 251 to just 102 members, thereby kicking out dozens of Republican voters.
Witnesses said Sheriff Cline processed application forms for those attempting to reappoint or become a member of the committee. Cline reluctantly confirmed she was involved in this process when confronted about the Cullers meeting, although she claimed she was not responsible for organizing or running the meeting.
As seen in this video, the Republican sheriff and the Republican county chairwoman – who was technically supposed to be subject to a four-year ban from the WCRC due to her PAC’s support of Democrats – refused to answer whether or not Democrats should vote in Republican committee elections.
Lloyd’s call states that this effort “is not about personalities or factions.”
“This is about the integrity of the Committee’s processes. If the Republican Party wants to demand electoral integrity from others, it must enforce it within its own ranks,” the document states.
