Another Freaky GOPPervert. Is It Even News Anymore?

mecum_psycho

It is my pleasure to introduce you to the Executive Director of the Arizona Rushpubliscum Party.

The website of the Arizona Rushpubliscum Party declares that the Arizona Rushpubliscums hold to the same “values” as the national Rushpubliscum Party, and Director Brett Mecum proves it. In the finest traditions of Rushpubliscums like Blake Hall of Idaho , “Diaper Dave” Vitter of Louisiana, “Randy Sandy” of South Carolina, Newt, Larry Craig, John Ensign, etc. etc. etc… it appears that Blake has been looking for love in all the wrong places.

And like Blake Hall in Idaho, Brett likes to do him a little stalking to find his true love. Blake, as you can see, has taken stalking to a whole new level.

More misconduct has been alleged against Arizona Republican Party executive director Brett Mecum, who is now the subject of a criminal complaint alleging he used the Republican’s voter database to stalk a young female graduate student.

The affidavit, filed last month with the local sheriff’s office, alleges that Mecum “is using Voter Vault to stalk.” Voter Vault is used by the Republican Party to micro-target the party’s message and to canvas specific demographics. The complainant was celebrating her acceptance into an East Coast graduate school on August 29 at her home when Mecum showed up uninvited. She reveals details about Voter Volt in her sworn affidavit:

I did not invite Brett Mecum. He is rather creepy and intimidating around women. I did not want to expose my guests to that kind of individual. I was shocked to see him show up at my party. He had never been to my house, and I had never told him where I lived. I asked him how he found my address, and he responded “I looked it up on Voter Vault, I called a staffer to look it up for me there.”

Other local women are alleging that Mecum’s behavior from the night described above fits an ugly pattern. According to the sworn affidavit, the young woman whose doorstep Mecum showed up on felt threatened:

[Mecum] alluded to power, connections, and authority as a result of his position as Executive Director of the Arizona Republican Party. I have also seen what malicious things he has done to others and do not want to be subjected to similar retaliatory actions.

According to the affidavit, the complainant only came forward because she “would be helping other women by stopping this behavior.” She went on to say, “I am concerned for my safety and the safety of other women who have either been or might be stalked by him using Voter Vault. Like me, they were likely threatened by him if they report his harassment and are afraid to come forward”

For months, I have been speaking with local Republican women who approached me with disturbing stories of unwanted sexual advances, persistent harassment, and intimidation by Mecum and some of Mecum’s friends. Each complaint was eerily similar; the most common complaint alleged that Mecum “doesn’t know how to take no for an answer.” None of the women were willing to speak on the record. Some were afraid of Mecum. Others were afraid of hurting the party. Each, for her own reasons, was afraid to speak out. In fact, the only woman who feels safe enough to file a formal complaint against Mecum did so as she was moving out of state.

Republican National Committee Treasurer Randy Pullen has also been called out for his inaction. A number of women in the Republican Party say that Pullen refused to even meet with them to discuss allegations of sexual harassment.

When asked about the allegation that Pullen has refused to hear complaints from local Republican women in regards to Mecum, Arizona Republican Party spokesperson Matt Roberts did not deny the allegations but said, “If these allegations are out there, I would encourage these women to come in and make their allegations known.” Roberts also pointed out that the name of the complainant is redacted in the publicly available affidavit.

Pullen expressed his unwavering support for Mecum to Yellow Sheet, “I think the charges are baseless….He says he didn’t use [the voter registration database] that way, and I have no reason to believe he used it that way….There are hundreds of people who have access to Voter Vault.”

Pullen said later in his statement, “He used Voter Vault. The Republican National Committee owns Voter Vault….It’s a private list. We own the list. We can do what we want with the list, quite frankly.

Got that? If the Rushpubliscums want to use that list to stalk women, then by Dog that’s just what they’ll do! It isn’t like women are really people or anything anyway, is it? They’re PROPERTY, for Dog’s sake.

Besides….. Brett has been used to doing whatever he wants to do for a long time now.

The Department of Public Safety just announced why Brett Mecum, the 30-year-old executive director of the Arizona Republican Party, was arrested this morning at party headquarters:

Mecum was caught by a freeway speed camera on April 10 doing 109 mph in his sports car, says DPS. The posted speed limit was 65 mph.

As we’ve reported, DPS has a policy of arresting folks caught on video cruising that fast, despite a pronouncement by Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas that he wouldn’t charge anyone for a photo-enforcement-related criminal speed violation.

DPS says Mecum was flashed at 12:30 a.m. on the Loop 101 near 59th Avenue in his blue 2008 Shelby GT 500 Ford Mustang. Sweet car. We hear the young party director bought it after getting promoted to his new position, which came with a higher salary.

Brett definitely embodies the “values” of the Rushpubliscum Party, as in: (1.) do as I say, not as I do, and (2.) give it up, bitch-or ELSE!

The Rushpubliscums must have some kind of criminal personality/sex deviate test you must pass before you can be promoted.
