Emails Show RNC Chair Facing MASSIVE Republican Revolt

Ronna McDaniel, the Chair of the RNC, is facing huge backlash within her own Party, from both the extremists and the "normal" Republicans. The extremists want to unseat her to take power for themselves and to boost Trump, while the "normies" are furious that she didn't condemn Trump's dinner with a white nationalist forcefully enough. The latter was recently exposed in leaked emails obtained by Politico. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Politico obtained a batch of leaked emails from the Republican National Committee that showed that members of the R N C are getting sick and tired of Ron McDaniel. So Ron McDaniel right now, before I even get into these emails, she's already facing a revolt from the MAGA freaks, right? You got Mike Lindell challenging her to be the next leader of the Republican party. Ronna had come out initially after Lindell made his announcement and she said, ah, I'm not worried. I've got, I've secured enough votes. You know, people telling me they will vote for me, that she was going to be the next, uh, uh, chair of the Republican Party. She wasn't gonna lose her position. But now all that appears to have changed. These emails obtained by Politico show that the normal Republicans who staff the R N C are actually off at Ronna for not forcefully condemning Donald Trump's dinner with white nationalists.

Oh yeah. She said, oh, this is bad. You can't do this. You know, don't do it anymore. But Republicans in the party, you know, the people with power at the R N C are going back and forth, emailing one another, actually emailing everybody with an R N C email address, um, and saying, this is ridiculous. This is beyond absurd that our leader cannot forcefully condemn the former president sitting down for dinner with white nationalists. Like it was no big deal. So now, in addition to having the MAGA freaks mad at her, now the normal Republicans are revolting against Ronna McDaniel. Now again, Rona had said she had already secured enough confirmations that people would vote for her to be the chair so she wouldn't lose her position. I think if she were to take that, uh, straw poll again today, I think people would feel differently.

I don't think this is a slam dunk for her. And the funniest part is that all of the little nut jobs running to unseat her are so much worse than her. And by worse I mean so much less competent. Like Ron McDaniel already sucks. Her track record has shown us this woman doesn't know how to win an election to save her life. She is very bad at what she does. Hell, she's not even that great at raising money for the Republican party. But if you take her away, you're not gonna replace her with somebody competent. You're not gonna get somebody who knows how to come in, strategize with Republicans, get them on the same page, help them craft policy work on talking. P that's not what you're gonna get. You're gonna get a guy who sells pillows for a living, or some of the other names being floated around are people who actually lost their elections this year. So you're

Either either gonna get more losers or a man who's being sued for over a billion dollars for lying about the 2020 election. I mean, Ron is terrible, but she still leaps and bounds better than everybody else vying for that position because that's the best that the Republicans have to offer. They are terrible, they are disorganized. They are searching for an identity that they can't quite nail down cuz they don't know if they wanna be normal or if they want to be the party of loser freaks right now. However, it seems like they're leaning very heavily onto the loser freak part, and that's probably what's gonna be heading up the Republican Party in just a few weeks at this point.
