Robert Morrow (Texas politician)

Morrow is from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where his father was engaged in the real estate business. He graduated in 1987 with a Bachelor of Arts in history from Princeton University in New Jersey, and received a Master of Business Administration degree in 1990 from the University of Texas at Austin. He is a self-employed investor and author. He considered himself a political liberal and supported then Governor Michael Dukakis in Dukakis' unsuccessful Democratic 1988 campaign against Republican Vice President George Herbert Walker Bush. As a child, he helped his mother, Rosa Partlow Morrow, first win election in 1978 from legislative district 47 to one of 133 seats on the Alabama State Democratic Executive Committee, a position which his grandfather, William Dempsey "Billy" Partlow, Jr. (1907–1975), had formerly held until his death and which she held first for two years by appointment. Like her son, Rosa Morrow was later active in the GOP, having donated $5,000 in 2004 to the Republican National Committee. == Political activities ==

Morrow has garnered national media coverage for his offensive comments and his erratic behavior on social media. Esquire magazine compared Morrow to then–Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump as reflecting the "rampaging id" of the party. Morrow said that he planned to use his position "as a bully platform to educate and inform the American public about the criminals and vipers who have run both the Republican and Democratic parties". He remarked that he would out the sexuality of conservatives with a record of anti-gay activism: "I love exposing these sexual hypocrites in the Republican Party". On March 8, a week after his election, a meeting of the Travis County party voted to disavow him. Morrow responded, "I'm going to do what I'm going to do." Morrow called the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton an "angry bull dyke" and Republican former Governor Rick Perry "a rampaging bisexual adulterer." He says that "much of the Bush family should be in jail." Governor Greg Abbott, Perry's successor, unable to prevent Morrow from being seated as county chairman, said that he did not consider Morrow a spokesman for the party. Vice chairman Matt Mackowiak called Morrow's election "a coup" and has sought to prevent him from becoming chairman. Morrow said that the leadership which opposes him can "go fuck themselves." The book has been described by Politico as a "sensational" work that contains "explosive, but highly dubious, revelations about both Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton" with a focus on Bill Clinton sexual misconduct allegations. Morrow calls himself "a truth seeker and a truth teller. Even if it's the ugly truth." Morrow first backed U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas for the 2016 nomination. When Cruz withdrew from the race, Morrow switched his support to party frontrunner Donald Trump, == See also ==
