Man got new identity as Florida GOP secretary after attacking a girl with a hammer

[Skidmore]

This is not surprising for GOP, now the party of criminals and traitors.

A 28-year-old Broward County Republican is refusing to resign his position as party secretary after colleagues discovered over the weekend that he had once been prosecuted for brutally beating a high school girl with a claw hammer.

Rupert Ditsworth, who now goes by the name Rupert Tarsey, was charged with attempted murder for his 2007 attack on a fellow student at Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles. After checking into a psychiatric hospital following the attack, he escaped the most serious charges through a plea deal. He then ditched his native California for Florida and swapped Ditsworth for Tarsey — apparently in honor of his grandfather Jason Tarsey, who owned the former Dunes Hotel on the Vegas strip.

Republicans say they had no idea their new colleague had a fake name and a criminal background

“We were blindsided,” GOP chairman Bob Sutton told Gossip Extra, an independent Florida news service cross-published by the Miami Herald. “He’s a member of the Knights of Columbus, for Christ’s sake. And he came highly recommended by the former chair. We had no idea what his background is. We want him out but he is refusing to resign.”

4. Ahh, he just an excitable boy. I guess he didn't get to the digging up the bones part.

13. Both songs came to mind to me as well.

After ten long years they let him out of the home
Excitable Boy, they all said
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable Boy, they all said............

20. The Knights don't like women all that much

especially the uppity kind

[TheBlackAdder]

2. Hes a member of the Knights of Columbus, for Christs sake." I bet he's also a church usher too!

[progressoid]

7. Heh. Yeah, being in the KOC would actually make me more suspicious of him.

3. didn't know? Bullshit

all repububliKKKans voted for a crook who could have gone out on 5th Ave and shot and killed someone, direct quote, probably an AA, and he still would be potus today.

5. Dude's response... it's just politics...

“Why should I resign?” he told the Daily Mail.. “I did nothing wrong and I was elected. This is just party politics.”

That response should exclude him from being considered human. Not only remorseless, but turning it into near grievance.

9. with a little digging I bet you find out he tortured animals before he killed the girl...

sociopaths are like that.

[More_Cowbell]

16. He didn't kill her

But I agree that that kind of violence doesn't spring full-blown.

Also, he paid a firm to clean up his online reputation. We need to keep posting about it so at the very least, he has to pay them again to remove references on the internet.

21. she survived? wow!

I hope she has recovered okay.

[iluvtennis]

10. Shameful. His ass should just do the right thing and resign.

[LudwigPastorius]

11. Apparently, there were "some very fine people on both sides" of...

a vicious assault with a deadly weapon.

Trump will be hiring him any day now.

12. Resign? They cannot force him out?

[rpannier]

24. That's what I wondered

I think they can kick him out of the party. Which should mean that he would be out as a party chairperson because he was not a member
As to his 'it's party politics'
He's a party chairman. That would make it party politics

[AllyCat]

14. For the GOP, this kind of history is a requirement of the position

They're only reacting now because it's public.

17. he says: it is just party politics

hey idiot : it is all politics

[SaschaHM]

18. He attacked her with a hammer until the hammer broke.... and got off with a plea deal.

19. The identity hiding company must not have done their job.

Sounds like he has a lot of money. If it was that easy to track his old name and past, he wasted his money. Glad it is out in the open though. They should keep tabs on him in case he tries to change his name again and start new somewhere else.

[Skidmore]

22. His grandfather was apparently owner of the Dunes Hotel in Las Vegas. nt

[GopherGal]

25. Name Change

Rupert Ditsworth, who now goes by the name Rupert Tarsey

He changed his surname, but kept "Rupert"?

23. nothing new for the Republican party, they have a history. Richman, poorman, beggerman-CHIEF.

The Republican party plagiarizes from these old 1940s cartoon scripts, the same old story.

[WhiteTara]

26. They just sensed that he was one of their own

and hired him on the spot. Now they're Shocked! Shocked I tell you!
