In an email sent to thousands of people, Martin wrote that he was disappointed with Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina for criticizing a 13-hour filibuster led last week by Sen. Rand Paul, a fellow Republican from Kentucky.

“The old guard of the GOP missed the significance of the event, which is a reminder that our party has a great deal yet to learn about leadership,” Martin wrote.

“My goal is for the MOGOP to be much more like Rand, and a lot less like McCain and Graham.”
Danforth didn’t hide his irritation in an email to Martin Thursday that also landed in the in-boxes of leading Missouri Republican officials and funders.

“I could not be more dismayed by the content and threatening tone of the attached newsletter about Senators Paul, McCain and Graham,” Danforth wrote.

“What’s the meaning of this?” Danforth asked. “This big tent Republican smells a purge in the air. Who else do you want to kick out of our party?”
