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.

I’m a conservative, no longer a Republican. George W cured me of that delusion.

It has come to the attention of the RNC Counsel’s Office ….


The SAME EXACT group that keeps reappointing Nurse Ratched Ronna.

“I hope the IDF finds the tunnel complex that must link the RNC with the DNC.”

Ronna strikes again. She is completely clueless
as to the repercussions from the Repub base.

They want complete control of every facet of our lives. Every candidate that agrees to this surrenders their own free will.

Her goal is to lose in order to further the uni-party. Will be interesting to see who breaks away.

I remember the video of the DNC kicking God out. Now it’s just a letter via the RNC?

If people need any more proof the Reps scream and holler but do the same as the dems it’s this.

The real republicans will attend. and send letters rescinding the agreement to not debate as i would violate first amendment.

They want to dictate where and when they can debate, but they still haven’t figured out a way to have a conservative set of moderators and a network sponsoring the debate that’s not tied to a leftist network

This is a golden opportunity for Trump to distance himself from Ronna. He should go for sure, he would be flipping her off without having to actually do it.

Exactly. Really, that Trump supported her is cause for serious concern. He still seems incapable of selecting good people,>>> The problem is in the business world the riff raff have already been culled due to continuous performance evaluation. If you get to a certain level you are pretty competent. in government the higher you go demonstrates complete incompetence.

"Trump just doesn’t get it. Ok he’s polling better than all of them combined but he just doesn’t get it. He’s not playing right"

Trump just doesn’t get it. Ok he’s polling better than all of them combined but he just doesn’t get it. He’s not playing LEFT. - There, fixed it!

ALL the candidates should go, Trump especially. And tell Ronna and the RNC/RINO Quislings to take a HIKE!
