RNC warns candidates that attending Iowa Christian group’s forum will disqualify them from debates

The Republican National Committee has warned some of the 2024 GOP presidential candidates about attending an Iowa Christian organization’s Thanksgiving forum, saying it would disqualify them from participating in future RNC presidential debates.

Five candidates – former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott – were invited to the Family Leader’s “Thanksgiving Family Forum” on November 17.

“It has come to the attention of the RNC Counsel’s Office that several Republican presidential candidates have been invited to participate in an open-press event in Iowa in November at which they would ‘gather around the table to have a moderated, friendly, and open discussion about the issues.’ In other words, a debate,” the RNC counsel’s office said in a letter obtained by CNN.

“Accordingly, please be advised that any Republican presidential candidate who participates in this or other similar events will be deemed to have violated this pledge and will be disqualified from taking part in any future RNC-sanctioned presidential primary debates,” the office said.

In its letter, dated October 28, the office reminded the candidates that they had agreed not to participate in any non-RNC-sanctioned debates during the campaign.

Really, that Trump supported her is cause for serious concern.
______________________________________________
I wonder if he knew that the RNC members’ minds were made up and that they would give him absolutely no campaign support if he spoke against her, so he went along with what the RNC wanted in the interest of getting funding and ultimately winning using his campaign’s own strategies.

Priebus seems conservative to me, at least when I see him on the cable channels.

Atwater near the end of his short life issued an apology to Dukakis over Willie Horton.

Ronna Romney's dictatorial minions issuing warnings.

DeSantis said he was going anyways and Romney backed down.

Well, he still beats the hell out of that fool DeSantis. DeSantis put that witch Pushaw, Zelensky’s tart, as part of his campaign.

No thanks.

I think the only real loyal selection of Trump was Dennis Rodman.

The DC Lifers Trump hired are only loyal to the Deep State.

Trump should go and make s big deal about it.

They should ALL go, and be unfailingly polite to each other. It would be awesome.

“She should be fired.”

Really. Who has the authority to do that? The Board of Directors?
