RNC chairwoman expresses regret over Giuliani news conference

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), Ronna Romney McDaniel, says in a new interview that she regrets letting former President Trump's lawyers, namely Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, spread unproven claims about the 2020 election from the organization's headquarters.

Speaking with The New York Times, McDaniel indicated that she thought it had been a mistake to allow Giuliani and Powell to make the claims about election rigging days after the vote at the RNC's headquarters in Washington, D.C.

"When I saw some of the things Sidney was saying, without proof, I certainly was concerned it was happening in my building," McDaniel told the newspaper. "There are a whole host of issues we had to deal with - what is the liability of the RNC, if these allegations are made and unfounded?"

During the Nov. 19 press conference at the RNC headquarters, lawyers for the former president including Powell and Giuliani claimed that Democrats had organized around the country to steal hundreds of thousands of votes in key battleground states including Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

1. repugs are always great at expressing regret after they've done something - but never have the

courage to stand up

[StarfishSaver]

2. Two and a half months later ...

Ok.

[still_one]

3. Ahhhhh, c'est dommage, that's too bad.........

[C_U_L8R]

4. Her only regret is their stupid coup failed.

[durablend]

5. Ronna caught the "Susan flu"

"I certainly was concerned...."

[Rustyeye77]

10. It took a few seconds but thats very funny

[Thomas Hurt]

6. Has she publicly stated that the Pig's voter fraud was the real fraud yet?

If not, her words mean nothing.

[catbyte]

7. Another traitor attempting to rewrite history. She parroted the same bullshit here in Michigan.

[lagomorph777]

8. Well, if she comes clean and testifies against her co-conspirators, maybe DOJ will make a deal.

Good luck with that.

9. Is the chair of the Republican National Committee, Ronna Romney McDaniel

related to Mitt Romney?

[Pompoy]

14. She is his niece

Her father is the older brother of Mitt.

[PufPuf23]

15. Thank you. Given his niece is chair of the RNC,

is even more reason why Mitt won't leave the GOP.

He has a more open field than other GOP pols because he is at least sane.

If tRump is convicted and barred from future office, all the better for Romney (and frankly from my perspective the GOP as a whole).

Expect Mitt to be GOP candidate in 2024.

25. MItt is still a conservative republican. The RW radicals are not.

If I'm him, I'm telling them they have to leave.

I have big props for Mitt showing some real integrity against serious blowback, but he don't give a shit about fundamental Democratic ideals.

[Jirel]

11. "Sorry" doesn't count.

We’ll believe you when you ACT on it, Ronna.

[apnu]

12. Trump is still on this B.S.

He fired his team on Saturday because they wouldn't go into Congress and lie that he won the election. They want to argue its not possible to convict the POTUS if he's not POTUS. His new team, on Sunday, is taking the exact same track. How long until he fires them as well?

[FSogol]

13. RNC chairwoman closes barn door after cow gets out.

[Chainfire]

16. Yea, I wish now that I had throw the wet blanket on the man that was on fire.

But it was just too exciting to watch.....

To hell with them all. Insane Christo-Fascists, take your apologies to someone who cares.

[mzmolly]

17. Oh bullshit.

They regret that their attempted coup didn't pan out.

[struggle4progress]

18. "We're still working out GOP policy on Jewish space lasers"

[crickets]

26. I almost ejected a large gulp of water onto my keyboard.

Fortunately, my nose blocked most of it. Ow.

[chowder66]

19. Makes you think the money is starting to dry up. nt

[Proud Liberal Dem]

20. Look for the Q freaks and insurrectionists to be calling for her resignation by the end of the day

I mean, she's hardly a profile in courage, but the bar for not being penalized by the insurrectionist/Q caucus right now seems to be supporting their conspiracy theories and not support......um....democracy.

[Qutzupalotl]

21. Note that her concern is only for the liability of the RNC

and not the damage those lies are doing to the country.

Her silence until now makes her complicit in the insurrection. Fuck her.

[exboyfil]

22. You know how you avoid liability

Then at the first available opportunity in a forum that approximates the forum the lie was spread in, you disavow the statements and tell the truth. Then you do that three more times at least.

[stillcool]

23. just like Susan Collins...

killer concern.

[UpInArms]

24. She asks "what is the liability of the RNC, if these allegations are made and unfounded?"

Well, the answer is that your asinine party needs to fix it ...

Every freaking one of them!

[Volaris]

27. '.. what is the liability of the RNC...',

FROM THE MATRIX:

...'wherein the Anomaly is revealed as both the beginning, AND THE END '

if shes worried about the liability of the RNC, it full well means that the RNC is fucking liable as as all get out, otherwise the statement would be damn sure OTHERWISE, wouldnt it?!

[Iggo]

28. Nah, she was all in.

Fucking liar.

[uponit7771]

29. Not accepted, her regret is the backlash and association not what was said. She could've stopped the

... crazy while the crazy was near the mic she decided not to.
