Deep Dive: Salt Lake County GOP Party leadership removes some members

Several former members of the Salt Lake County Republican Party say they are now filing a lawsuit in response to their removal. They say the discipline they received from party leadership was direct retaliation for complaints they lodged against the party. 

In this Deep Dive, guest host Heather Peterson gets a breakdown of the situation from Inside Sources co-host Dr. Holly Richardson, who says it's a nuanced problem, but one she finds interesting because of the discipline involved. Two of the members disciplined in the process (Kaye Sanderson and Tracie Halvorsen) also speak out, sharing their reaction to the situation. Finally, county party chair Mike Carey joins Heather Peterson and Midday Executive Producer Andy Cupp to share more insights into the disciplinary process and why several members of the party faced that same discipline.
