Embattled RNC head Ronna McDaniel busted for talking point memo with a glaring falsehood

In a series of tweets on Saturday afternoon, the Washington Post's Josh Dawsey shared a talking points memo that Republican National Committee chairperson Ronna Romney McDaniel sent out to GOP lawmakers who are being besieged with questions about the RNC accusing the Jan 6th riot committee of the "persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse.."

As the New York Times reported, the blowback from that official RNC statement had GOP officials scrambling to "clarify" what the committee meant, with the Times reporting, "After the [censure] vote, party leaders rushed to clarify that language, saying it was never meant to apply to rioters who violently stormed the Capitol in Mr. Trump’s name."

As Dawsey notes, that "clarification" doesn't appear to have been enough with the WaPo White House correspondent tweeting, "RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel just sent her members 'talking points' on Cheney and Kinzinger resolution. Her email says members were asking for them. Encourages members to talk about the lawmakers working closely with Pelosi, the committee 'harassing' those not at the Capitol."
