EXCLUSIVE: Analysis of RNC Spending Since 2017 Shows Millions Were Spent on Private Jets, Limousines, Luxury Retreats, Broadway Shows, and More
https://redstate.com ^ | December 14, 2022 | Jennifer Van Laar

Back in 2010, RNC Chair Michael Steele was heavily criticized and eventually lost his position because donors were angry about what they believed was luxurious spending on private jets, floral arrangements, chauffeur services, and member meetings in expensive tropical locales. Donors were used to frugality from the RNC under the George W. Bush administration, when “Karl Rove would bitch if there were flowers on the tables” and staff holiday parties were catered by Chick-fil-A.

Despite Joe Biden’s economy and three straight cycles of election losses, the RNC’s big-spending days are back with a vengeance.

Perhaps because of these losses both RNC donors and committee members are intensely interested in the committee’s finances, particularly the spending. Late last week, RedState was provided a report dated October 7, 2022 that examined RNC’s 2021-22 spending. It calculated more than $500,000 in private jet expenses, $64,000 at clothing retailers, and $321,000 in floral arrangements.

I stopped donating to these A holes, about 25 years ago.

I have never donated to any political party.

I never did trust them, although I didn’t expect this sort of thing.

We aren’t electing these guys to live the life we all wish we had. We elect them to be our representatives, not live the high life.

Now for sure they will never get a nickel from me and I will be sure to let them know why.

Niece, but, yeah, Ronna McDaniel needs to be booted like yesterday. The proof the pudding is in the eating, and she hasn’t gotten the job done. I’m generally uncomfortable with the notion of guilt-by-association and don’t like to blame people for what their family members do, but Mittens Romney is like the GOP’s most deplorable, most treacherous politician not named Liz Cheney. The idea of his niece running the party is pretty absurd when you think about it.

Why I don’t like RNC.
Why I don’t like Ronna (She has sent outrageous emails!!)

Why we did not have money to give to MAGA - America First Candidates and do accurate polling, etc. Not that they would have spent money on them...they seem to prefer Dems to MAGA.

Maybe some of those close races could have been won but for the money that the RNC has squandered. I erred in identifying her as his daughter. She is Pierre’s niece. Sorry.

A point well made. The money could have been better spent on getting candidates elected.

**********

The Republican Party is full of effeminate pussies.
I’ve been a registered Republican since 1989 & they’ve always sucked.

The leadership had zero loyalty or backbone about supporting our President in 2016 , so they can screw off.
