Report: Trump Aide Bullied Delaware GOP

Threatened to tweet about backroom deals.

According to a report in Politico, the Trump campaign sent Joe Uddo, a former Ben Carson aide who now works for Trump, to Delaware last week to twist arms and procure more delegates for the upcoming convention. He threatened to bring in Trump’s law firm Jones Day and to tweet about alleged “backroom deals in Delaware” if more Trump suppporters weren’t included among the delegates being sent to the convention. This caused some unease among leading Delaware Republicans. “One of our delegates is just a little old lady,” one anonymous GOP’er told Politico. “This is not cigar chomping, tobacco spitting guys with three piece suits. These are just normal Delawareans, hardworking, retirees.”
