State GOP chair Chris Devaney is ready to welcome House Speaker Kent Williams back into the party. But first, Williams has to apologize. Devaney explained himself yesterday before speaking to a Republican women's group yesterday in Kingsport:
"I do think the Republican Party's door needs to be open for Kent Williams and his supporters. If they want to talk to us, I think our door needs to be open to listen to their concerns, to listen to what they have to say. He has not apologized for his behavior as far as I know. He hasn't apologized for what he's done, and I think that's what Republicans would like to hear to start."
More Devaney:
"So to ever even start down that road (to reinstating Williams), he's going to have to talk to (executive committee members) as well. Our door is open. I think we have an obligation to listen, but people's behaviors have consequences."
Williams doesn't seem ready to offer the apology. The speaker responds:
"I'd rather just talk to Mr. Devaney one on one, which I think we are going to do in the near future ... (but) the only comment I have is I haven't done anything wrong."
Maybe there is a way: Williams could apologize if he's offended anyone by lying and backstabbing and making a corrupt deal with the Democrats to humiliate Jason Mumpower and the entire Republican Party. Would that work?
