Noteworthy events
Howze removed from NRCC “Young Guns” program
According to Politico, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) removed Howze from its "Young Guns" program over offensive social media posts on May 20, 2020.[2] House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, "The content in question on Mr. Howze’s social media channels is disappointing and disturbing. Bigotry and hateful rhetoric — in any form — have no place in the Republican Party."[2] Howze denied that he had written the posts and said they were written by someone else with access to his social media accounts.[2] On May 25, 2020, McCarthy rescinded his endorsement of Howze.[3]
