Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump and the daughter-in-law of former president Donald Trump, promised on Tuesday that she would use "every single penny" of Republican National Committee (RNC) funds to see Trump back in the White House if she becomes co-chair of the party.
During a recent appearance on the conservative network Newsmax, Trump claimed that the RNC needs to be the leanest, most lethal political fighting machine weve ever seen in American history."
"If I am elected to this position, I can assure you, there will not be any more $70,000 or whatever exorbitant amount of money it was spent on flowers," she said. "Every single penny will go to the No. 1 and the only job of the RNC that is elected Donald J. Trump as president of the United States and saving this country.
The former president recently vocalized his support of Lara Trump for the position of co-chair of the RNC, referring to her as an extremely talented communicator who is dedicated to all that MAGA stands for."

(20,895 posts)The same goes for the Senate and House Campaign arms as well, because they are part of the RNC.
The DNC however, have plenty of money that also helps the House and Senate candidates. Those arms are also well funded. I wonder why?

Cult behavior is truly amazing.

(20,049 posts)Or, do they honestly have this strong of a stranglehold on the RNC?
Either way, starving the rest of the Republicans running for office to fund Trumps legal bills seems a nifty plan to me.
