A little over a year ago, a RedState exclusive investigation into spending at the Republican National Committee revealed that millions of donor dollars were spent on things like floral arrangements, private jets, limousines, tickets to Broadway shows, high-end retail stores, and more.
As I wrote then, frugality has long been a conservative principle, even at the RNC.
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.
In light of reports that the RNC had a cash shortage heading into a critical election year (which was described as a "revenue problem") and that the RNC executive board voted to authorize a $10 million line of credit in its 2024 budget, RedState analyzed expenditures recorded by the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) since the December 2022 story to see where the money is going.
In addition, several categories of RNC spending were compared to spending by the Democratic National Committee during the same time frame. The chart below shows total spending and spending in these categories by the RNC and the DNC between October 20, 2022 and November 30, 2023.

She isn’t in it to win it. Fluff
Nice find. This is shocking. Trump needs to get her dumped.
She’s in it to win it .... for RONNA!!
Ronna’s lifestyle....Ronna’s fat lips....Ronna’s masseuse...Ronna’s clothing....etc, etc.. I’m sure.
H/t Lakeside Granny ... I agree....Pres Trump needs to insist this lavish spending ho has gotta go.
No wonder we’re losing so many WINNABLE races. Trump cannot pull the heavy lifting, alone....that’s what the RNC is SUPPOSED to do/help with.
NOT be an adversary.
Trump needs to dump Ronna. I dont know if these numbers are reliable.
The Trump Organization. 725 Fifth Avenue. New York, NY 10022.
Executive Offices. 115 Eagle Tree Terrace. Jupiter, FL 33477.
Trump Hotels. 725 Fifth Avenue. New York, NY 10022.
press information contact. press@trumporg.com.
No wonder the dims beat the repooblicans. The not only have more money to spend they spend it where it counts. The stupid party is worthy of the name.
I remember when Trump had to stop her from raising money off his name.
The consulting number jumps out and screams “fraud” and “self dealing”.
One at least hopes that it paid well for her and her cronies as they live happily ever after, once they're finished with looking out for the interests of... whomever they serve. Uncle Milt is surely happy about this.

It’s what you get when you rely on a Romney.
Thx, Liz. And, maybe fill out this form....
