HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- The Harris County GOP is firing back at one of their own, a Cypress-area precinct chair who submitted a list of resolutions for the party to adopt.
The list authored by Carla Richburg, the chair for Harris County voting precinct 602, includes a ban on sex education in school, mandatory death penalty for criminals who kill law enforcement, a ban on all medical mandates, a ban on all abortions, stop recognizing transgender identity, reduce gay marriage to civil unions, label all Chinese nationalists as spies and forcibly removing them from the country, and wage war on all invaders at the Texas border by deadly force.

Carla Richburg of Cypress, chair of GOP precinct 602, proposed seven resolutions to the party platform, including mandatory death penalties for anyone convicted of murdering a police officer or murders committed during other felonies; a call to wage war against all invaders related to Texas borders that authorizes deadly force; considering all Chinese nationals as spies and removing them from the country; refusal to recognize transgender identification; and removal of the word marriage from official documents.....

Democrats, who began lambasting the local GOP over the weekend, demanded more action on Monday morning. They called for Richburg to be removed.
The hate-filled priorities list she submitted is indefensible and not legitimate political discourse, Harris County Democratic Party chair Odus Evbagharu said in a statement. We condemn the promotion of hatred in any form and will continue to call out anyone who attempts to magnify messages of hate.
