David Williams, who's running for El Paso County GOP Chair, has no regrets for booing Log Cabin Republicans at a GOP assembly in May.

The Log Cabin Republicans were advocating civil unions, which is not part of the GOP platform, Williams told me, adding that he doesn't regret the booing and he opposes civil unions.

"I did boo," said Williams, who's the current Vice Chair of the El Paso Country Republican Party. "I booed because the Log Cabin Republicans were advocating something that was contrary to GOP platform. It had nothing to do with who they are. It had nothing to do with their sexuality."

"If there were someone who advocated for Obamacare," he said, "they would also be booed."

Williams is running against Jeff Hays to lead El Paso Republicans.
