    Newsletter of the Republican Party of Palm Beach County—September 2019 Palm Beach County GOP Hits Another Home Run with Lobsterfest n Thursday, August 15, more than 400 enthusiastic O Republicans met at the Polo Club in Boca Raton for the Palm Beach County Republican Party’s 18th Annual Lobsterfest. The originally-scheduled keynote speaker, Anthony Scaramucci (“The Mooch”), had been publicly disinvited after he criticized President Trump for using “racist language.” He was not missed! He has since moved on to become the darling of the drive-by media and a lonely existence as a man without a party. Joe Budd, Palm Beach County’s State Committeeman and the evening’s emcee, quipped that Party Chair Michael Barnett had something in common with former White House Chief of Staff Gen.
