After RedState's Jennifer Van Laar Exposes Absurd Spending Habits at the RNC, Rona McDaniel Resigns

Jennifer Van Laar dropped a big exposee about terrible spending priorities at the RNC on January 31st.

Charlie Kirk summarized what Jen Van Laar found when she compared the RNC's spending to the DNC's. I'm bolding some of the items with the greatest differences.

NEW -- I got an exclusive first look at @jenvanlaar's new report on the RNC's lavish spending on limos, consultants, flowers, and office supplies while skimping on GOTV, data, and state parties:

Floral Arrangements:
RNC - $70,328.00
DNC - $795

Consultants:
RNC - $1,078,279.47
DNC - $114,000

My old friend Mike Flynn (not the general) wanted to write an entire book about the GOP's grifter consultant class.

Office Supplies: RNC - $297,717.64 DNC - $45,005

Where are they buying these "office supplies" from? Colombian coke farms?

This is all horrible, horrible!

Limousines: RNC - $263,127.25 DNC - $7,000

Voter File Maintenance:
RNC - $39,233.50
DNC - $235,865.88

GOTV Texts:
RNC - $86,019
DNC -$1,676,923.29

State Outlays:
RNC - $13,800,200
DNC - $23,835,437

Trump sat down with McDaniel to discuss her leadership:

Following RedState's reporting on questionable spending at the Republican National Committee between October 2022 and November 2023, and following interviews in which he seemed to indicate that a change is coming to the RNC, Donald Trump reportedly sat down with RNC chair Ronna McDaniel at Mar-a-Lago for more than two hours Monday to discuss the status of the party.

According to Politico, the meeting took place after Trump filmed an interview with Newsmax in which he said, "I think she knows that, I think she understands that," in response to a question from Rob Schmitt as to whether it was time for McDaniel to step aside.

She reported that Ronna McDaniel's chief of staff was resigning:

The morning after Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel met with Donald Trump for more than two hours about the status and future of the RNC, McDaniel's chief of staff announced that he will be leaving the RNC at the end of February.

Politico reported that Mike Reed made the announcement in a note to staff Tuesday morning:

In an email to staff on Tuesday, obtained by POLITICO, he said that he wanted to focus on his "growing family [that] needs and deserves my attention."

It's amazing how these guys can afford to neglect their families until they're caught in a controversy, and then realize they need to spend time with the wife and kids.

But I guess that resignation wasn't enough. Van Laar reports that McDaniel is also resigning:

Embattled Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel plans to resign after the South Carolina primary, the New York Times reported Tuesday evening.

The chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel, has told former President Donald J. Trump she is planning to step down shortly after the South Carolina primary on Feb. 24, according to two people familiar with the plans.

I never cared either way about Ronna McDaniel. I mean, yes, she's incompetent, stupid, and a liberal, but I've come to expect that from the GOP brand.

Still, it's good she's out.

Maybe the GOP will finally embrace accountability instead of just constantly grifting from conservative voters.

LOLOLOLOLOL

I amuse myself sometimes.
