Richard Grenell, who served as the U.S. ambassador to Germany and acting director of national intelligence during the Trump administration, urged the Texas GOP to lift its ban on the conservative LGBTQ group Log Cabin Republicans.
“The Texas Republican Party bans Logcabin, the gay conservative group with 80 chapters across the US,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Texas is the only state that bans us from their state convention.”
Grenell, whose post came in response to the news announced by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) that his state will host the 2028 Republican National Convention, added the convention “should not be in Texas if this ban remains.”
Texas Republican Party Chairman Matt Rinaldi responded with a gif of The Lone Star Flag waving in the wind.
Asked for comment, Log Cabin Republicans President Charles Moran shared a post by the group on X that reads, “Inclusion wins. @TexasGOP has five years to get it right…clock starts now.”
