Our own Jennifer Van Laar had it first at RedState. After three lackluster election cycles, you’d think someone at the Republican National Committee would have the sense of accountability to step away. But this is politics, where none of that exists, so the Republicans will likely reelect the same folks who oversaw this disastrous 2022 midterm cycle because the gravy from this train is just too sweet. Yet, Van Laar did an audit of the RNC’s finances, and it was an unwelcome throwback to the days of former chairman Michael Steele when the committee was busted for blowing cash on strippers. Like in 2010, the RNC spent like drunken sailors on worthless items, reinforcing the call for new blood in its leadership. It should also infuriate the legions of loyal Republicans who give monthly to the national committee. As we’ve known for a while, these funds aren’t helping the party; they’re being used for private jets, lavish dinners, and Broadway shows. The cost of these expeditions soars into the millions of dollars (via RedState):
We don’t talk about it as often, though maybe we should—but the party apparatus and its campaign arms have been sub-par for years. The internal shenanigans and the questionable formulas regarding the distribution of the fundraising hauls are all glaring issues about how the swamp is the swamp, no matter which party. Potomac syndrome can infect anyone, but the RNC should be audited over how it operated in 2022. |
