Republican Party official quits in disgust over Trump's impeachment trials, says local GOP is 'propaganda shill' for president

Republican Party official in Indiana says he has quit the GOP because the impeachment process showed the party he supported for decades has become "cultish" in its backing of President Donald Trump.

Ed Adams resigned from his position as a local precinct committeeman for the 18-02 precinct in the Irvington neighborhood of Marion County.

According to his resignation letter, seen by IndyStar, he felt that the vote by all the Republican Senators—apart from Mitt Romney (Utah) and Susan Collins (Maine)—not to call witnesses to Trump's trial, was a step he could not accept.

According to the IndyStar, his letter read: "For the life of me I don't understand why people don't want the truth. American people deserve the truth—and why are you enabling the hiding of truth? It has become the party of Donald Trump with cultish enthusiasm."
