Robert Partlow Morrow (born June 20, 1964) is the former chairman of the Republican Party of Travis County in the capital city of Austin, Texas. When he unseated chairman James R. Dickey in the primary election held on March 1, 2016, media reports called him a conspiracy theorist. Morrow gave up his post when he filed as a write-in candidate for president. Background Morrow is from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where his father was engaged in the real estate business. He graduated in 1987 with a Bachelor of Arts in history from Princeton University in New Jersey, and received a Master of Business Administration degree in 1990 from the University of Texas at Austin. He is a self-employed investor and author. Morrow was a star basketball player in high school at Tuscaloosa Academy where his basketball teams were 90–0 from 1981 to 1983. He considered himself a political liberal and supported then Governor Michael Dukakis in Dukakis' unsuccessful Democratic 1988 campaign against Republican Vice President George Herbert Walker Bush. As a child, he helped his mother, Rosa Partlow Morrow, first win election in 1978 from legislative district 47 to one of 133 seats on the Alabama State Democratic Executive Committee, a position which his grandfather, William Dempsey "Billy" Partlow, Jr. (1907–1975), had formerly held until his death and which she held first for two years by appointment. Like her son, Rosa Morrow was later active in the GOP, having donated $5,000 in 2004 to the Republican National Committee. Political activities Morrow has garnered national media coverage for his offensive comments and his erratic behavior on social media. Esquire magazine compared Morrow to then–Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump as reflecting the "rampaging id" of the party. Morrow said that he planned to use his position "as a bully platform to educate and inform the American public about the criminals and vipers who have run both the Republican and Democratic parties". He remarked that he would out the sexuality of conservatives with a record of anti-gay activism: "I love exposing these sexual hypocrites in the Republican Party". On March 8, a week after his election, a meeting of the Travis County party voted to disavow him. Morrow responded, "I'm going to do what I'm going to do." Morrow claims that Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, with the help of the CIA, was involved in the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy. Morrow
