“The ticket is already set and we can’t go back to the primary and erase it,” she said referring to Trump in a video in April. 

“But there are those of you in here that are supporting a man who, at the top of the ticket, who has denigrated the Republican Party like I’ve never seen before,” Winbush continued. ”Clarence Mingo and I were offended as African-Americans by some of the comments and some of the tactics that that man has taken.”

However, following her promotion to the county chair, she deleted all of her previous tweets. Her accounts still shows that she had over twelve thousand tweets.

In place of the deleted tweets she posted a new tweet saying "Hello Twitter! “ followed by ”I look forward to serving the Mahoning Valley For Campaign. What a blessing.”    

 Twitter users quickly pointed out the missing tweets and her previous comments about Trump. “He is not a racist liar; The media and the Progressive Movement dont want voters to hear his message,” Winbush wrote on Twitter in response.
