Trump briefly called in to the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting Thursday morning — and received a loud and overwhelmingly enthusiastic reception when RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel put him on speakerphone, according to people in the room.

“We love you!” some in the room yelled.

Addressing RNC members by phone as they held a private, members-only breakfast at the Ritz-Carlton on Amelia Island in Florida, Trump said he had heard that the news media had falsely reported he would not be speaking. He told the RNC members he wanted to speak, was sorry to miss the event and looked forward to seeing them in person.

Trump made no mention of Wednesday’s violence at the U.S. Capitol, according to the people present, who were not authorized to speak publicly about the president’s remarks. Trump had originally intended to deliver a longer speech but is not scheduled to address the event Thursday night.

RNC members cheering this insurrection. Unbelievable.

9. I know what you mean. Media is coming around but maybe too late and not strongly enough.

16. Much will depend on how quickly he is removed from office and what kind of spin

GOP members of Congress put on it by way of explanation.
GOP should actually be apologizing to the American people for having aided and abetted the Oval Office occupier whether for their own gain or due to their fear.

3. Someone should make a movie about these people.

The title could be: "They wish they could have been the first Nazis"

6. Drink, my children. Drink.

8. The republican party is now a ...................

terrorist organization which is against the USA.

[Vivienne235729]

14. It sure as hell looks exactly like that! and if they support what happened yesterday, then they all

need to be removed from their offices.

17. The fact that RNC members cheered and screamed "I love you" when tRump called them this

morning is very telling.

10. "...not authorized to speak publicly about the president's remarks."

What a load!

[Thomas Hurt]

11. Not sure why anyone would think that just because the Pig over reached...

that the christofascists are going to give up their agenda to install a christian theocracy here.

[IowaGuy]

12. I'm reading this while in the background on the TV Chuck Todd is opining....

and wondering in a concerned voice, what will become of the GOP? What direction will they take?
Jeebus!! You would think a self described journalist would have been observant enough and able to assimilate at least a little of what has been clearly happening with the Republican party. If he can't clearly see where they are maybe he can ask a couple of his coworkers, Steve Schmidt and Nichole Wallace if they can give him any clues. He wouldn't even have to move his ignorant head up his ass out of his studio chair.

and nothing less

20. Pity Ronna doesn't have a fraction of the integrity that Mitt does.

And I'm not saying Mitt belongs up on a pedestal.
