Hazel resigns GOP precinct position

President Trump has changed the daily scuffle of politics by turning Twitter into a weapon.

Out here in Kootenai County, there may not be any political power tweets, but insiders are watching “The Great Email War.”

Christa Hazel, a well-known player in local Republican circles, caused an uproar Wednesday night with an email debate involving Brent Regan, chairman of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee.

After a thousand-plus words exchanged by each side — most about committee procedures and even references to Robert's Rules of Order — Hazel submitted her resignation as a precinct committee person within the KCRCC.

Even 24 hours after the email marathon, some members of the KCRCC didn't understand quite what had happened.
