Tarrant County Republicans in Texas will vote Thursday on an effort by a faction to remove their vice chairman, Shahid Shafi, because he’s Muslim, the Texas Tribunereports. “Those in favor of the motion to recall Shafi, a trauma surgeon and member of the Southlake City Council, have said he doesn’t represent all Tarrant County Republicans. They’ve also said Islamic ideologies run counter to the U.S. Constitution — an assertion many Texas GOP officials have called bigoted and Shafi himself has vehemently denied.”
