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.

Even Don Jr. didn’t say she should be fired on his podcast a few days ago.

I guess no one read the article

DeSantis, Scott and Ramaswamy have RSVP’d for the event, according to Zahn.

DeSantis said Friday that he would attend the event, despite the RNC’s warning. “I’m gonna be there at the Family Leader. I think it’s an important part of this process.

This is the group, family leader foundation, that desantis paid $95,000 to, for their support

DNC, RNC. What’s the difference nowadays? Good cop, bad cop? Black hat, white hat? The only thing new in a very long time is MAGA

“I hope the IDF finds the tunnel complex that must link the RNC with the DNC.”
I add to that the hope that the complex is under Harvard.
Please, oh please. Double the progress at the cost of just a couple of bombs.

Agreed. Everyone should make some effort to stop by and end this madness.

Does anyone need to see how the GOP is nothing more than Democrat-lite? Talk about party control!

Those of us here on FR have seen the GOPe ruin the GOP. They truly are rat-lite in more ways than not.

I suspect they were this way long before the Internet allowed us to communicate in a way that could expose them. The GOPe might have been in control for decades. Maybe even since its inception.

Our goal, our fight, is to transform the GOP into a true conservative-minded party with fight and grit. The Freedom caucus is a good start. Most GOP congress critters are subservient to the globalists. They are literally bought and paid for. Owned and in the pocket of the donor class who pays for their election campaigns.

This is not a recipe for good representation of and for the people.

Does this mean the American experiment failed? Perhaps. Power corrupts. Money controls almost everyone apparently.

I can’t imagine that Trump signed that pledge to the RNC Dictatorial Committee.

I’m thinking Rammaswampy will tell the RNC to stuff it.

The rest like good little sheeples will comply.

Thanks for the ping!

I know AZ worked to get rid of Botox Ronna.

Tyler Boyer, who is one of 3 AZ delegates to the RNC Council, said that Ronna was promising and buying peeps off.

Not sure if Ronna could get a real job outside of RNC Chair.

Her qualifications were BA degree in English from BYU. Other than that, she claims to have delivered Michigan to republicans in 2016 for the first time in 30 years. Trump won in other battleground states then too. Does she get credit for that? She’s done nothing but cash checks since she’s been RNC Chair. Well, that and lose elections.

Headline makes it sound like Christianity is the problem, rather than the open debate being the problem. Typical millenial headline writer? Or old pagan Democrat?

Debates with NBC and Lester Holt is very much approved. Debates with a christian group not really. Because you know, NBC really cares for republicans and the republican candidate winning. LOL.
