BISMARCK, N.D. – Top North Dakota Republican officials have disavowed an anti-LGBT resolution that was passed by hundreds of the party’s delegates and denounced by Republican Governor Doug Burgum.
State Republican Chairman Rick Berg said the party’s executive committee voted Monday to disavow the resolution’s “harmful and divisive language.” In a statement, Berg said North Dakota Republican leaders “would like to offer a sincere apology for the inclusion of these unacceptable, hurtful sentiments as part of our official business.”
Gov. Burgum earlier denounced the resolution. The resolution was part of a package approved by delegates in a mail-in vote in April.
