Colorado Chairman Steve House is responsible for 'Never Trump' tweet. It's time for him to resign

It doesn't matter who posted it, what matters is who's responsible.

There's more evidence that the Republican Assembly in Colorado is riddled with error and potential fraud, which opens the process up to legal challenge. The controversial meeting resulting in all of the state's delegated being awarded to Ted Cruz, much to the vocal dismay of many Trump supporters.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - More anomalies are being reported from the Colorado Republican Assembly that awarded all of its delegated to Ted Cruz. Several attendees are reporting they were systematically ignored and shunted off into oblivion. All were Trump supporters. The allegations suggest that Trump was systematically, and possibly fraudulently denied support.

Several Trump supporters have told Breitbart News and other outlets stories about how they were cut out of participating.

Following the end of the voting, the Colorado Republican Party tweeted, "We did it. #NeverTrump". The tweet was quickly deleted, but not until after it had been captured by many people following the party's official Twitter.

Catholic Online called the office of  Colorado Republican Party, seeking answers to the offensive tweet. The office was empty except for an intern and two others, who the intern reported were in a teleconference. Steve House, chairman of the party was unavailable.

The intern provided no answers and said that the party has hired a private investigator to learn who posted the tweet, but could not say who it was.

A subsequent call to the Denver Post reached an editor who was there at the time the incident occurred, and he reported that almost immediately, they announced the account had been hacked. The tweet was deleted within three minutes. What does that tell even an amateur sleuth?

These circumstances seem suspicious. First, why was a Twitter account left open on an unattended terminal for anyone to use? Second, the tweet mirrors quite well the attitude many in the Republican party have towards Trump. Third, the tweet suggests what many suspect, that the RNC has been trying actively to suppress Trump's support.

Ultimately, Steve House is responsible for the Twitter account, so he should resign.

The Republicans claim their account was hacked, but if this is true, then why not contact the FBI? Surely the Republicans take online security more serious than Hillary Clinton, right? And why haven't they figured out who is responsible by now? For whether the tweet came from an insider or a hacker, the vulnerability remains and the offender could embarrassingly strike again. The bottom line it, the Colorado Republican Party allegedly has no control over their Twitter account, since the case of the mysterious bad tweet remains unresolved.

Of course, we could apply Occam's razor and suggest that Steve House himself is responsible for the tweet. It was either in his hands or in the hands of one of his subordinates.

Colorado is a debacle, and makes a mockery of both the Republican party and democracy. Steve House  must resign to maintain the integrity of his party. His interns and other staff should be dismissed as well, since we cannot afford to have a renegade, in an office of incompetents, gaining unauthorized access to official accounts.

Already, we can't trust Steve House's crew with a Twitter account. Apparently we can't trust them with a state assembly either. We can't trust them with our votes. Should we also trust them with money? Should we trust them with anything?

If the Republican party cares about the constituents it serves, it had better start cleaning house and paying attention to the will of the voters. Otherwise, the party could find itself irrelevant in the new political landscape to come.
