Johnny Rhoda, who remarked that Hillary would be shot in Arkansas, resigns from Arkansas Republican Party position
A news release from 2nd District Republican Congressman Tim Griffin indicates that Johnny Rhoda, the 2nd District Republican chairman, had resigned his party position after his widely quoted remark that Hillary Clinton would "probably get shot at the state line" if she ran for president.
Rhoda, a church pastor and insurance agent, said later that he didn't mean the remark in a threatening way and that it had been quoted "out of context" and "blown out of proportion." David Catanese, the reporter who took down the quote, scoffed at Rhoda's characterization that the remark was out of context.
Democrats jumped on Rhoda's remark and demanded his resignation from the party. The critics included John Burkhalter, who's opposing Griffin for lieutenant governor, who called on Griffin to denounce the remark and remove Rhoda from any position in his campaign.
