Dear John,

We thought you may be interested to receive this CONSERVATIVE NEWS ALERT from Illinois Review.
 

By Illinois Review

On Saturday, embattled Illinois Republican Party Vice Chairman, former Trump Campaign Advisor and State Central Committee member Mark Shaw penned an angry, 10-page manifesto where he appeared unhinged as the IL GOP leader attempted to defend himself after it was revealed that he broke party rules and purposefully misrepresented himself as a delegate during the state convention last month.

In his 10-page meltdown, Shaw was in attack mode, angrily attacking fellow SSC members, county GOP leaders, the grassroots – which he referred to as “uniformed lemmings,” and he even borrowed a line from Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker – calling former GOP attorney general nominee Tom DeVore a “grifter.” In October 2021, Gov. Pritzker called DeVore a “grifter” for filing lawsuits against the governor’s mask mandate in schools during the pandemic.

The embattled state party leader, who’s actions continue to embarrass Republicans statewide, also took personal shots at Lake County GOP Central Committee Chairman Keith Brin and fellow SSC members Sean Morrison and Aaron Del Mar – turning a letter that was supposed to be a defense of his actions into a script for the Jerry Springer Show. The petty and epic 10-page meltdown sounded more like a childish rant – and not something you’d expect from a senior member of the Illinois Republican Party. 
The IL GOP Vice Chair also suggested censuring this publication and its owners, writing, “What censure exists for those who seek to advance their own ‘careers’ at the expense of party unity…” Such censorship is common among Democrats and countries like Brazil, China and Russia, where opposing political voices and reporters are silenced. But this isn’t the first time this has been proposed. Last year, SSC member Jeanne Ives suggested censoring this publication after appearing agitated by stories covering the IL GOP and some of it’s leadership including IL GOP Chairman Don Tracy.
