Republicans in one of the most populous counties in Texas will decide this week if they should remove a party vice chairman who is Muslim following allegations he has denied that suggest he prefers Islamic over U.S. law and opposes the GOP's pro-Israel stance.... Some have even speculated that the ouster of Shafi could drain fundraising efforts and jeopardize the party's 2020 campaign.... William Busby, a former precinct chairman and leader for the Tarrant County Republican Party [said], "Corporate donors, the big donors, don't want to be associated with a party that's going in the direction of excluding people based upon their religious beliefs."So that's both parties, then.
Religious Tests
Out in Texas, Republican donors are getting nervous.

Has anyone got any further details on this? Last I heard, his removal had been prevented by state GOP. If the claims are false, then good that his removal was halted. If they were true however, I could see an argument that it's appropriate for him not to represent the party at a County level.
What I've heard is that he prevailed in his attempt to remain seated, and those seeking to oust him were defeated.
