MS GOP Chairman: Breitbart News Is 'Washington Elite'

Last week, Breitbart News’ Matthew Boyle appeared on Memphis, TN Fox affiliate WHBQ and called the upcoming contest for the Mississippi Republican senatorial nomination “ground zero” for control of the state Republican Party. That race features long-time incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) against Mississippi State Sen. Chris McDaniel (R-Ellisville).

Thursday in an appearance on WHBQ, Mississippi GOP Chairman Joe Nosef refuted the notion that Mississippi is “ground zero,” terming those who made such declarations to be Washington and New York elites.
