Some Republicans haven’t received the memo just yet, in connection with the report that the Republican National Committee (RNC) is paying some Trump legal bills:
“This is not normal. Nothing about this is normal, especially since he’s not only a former President but a billionaire,” said a former top RNC official.
“What does any of this have to do with assisting Republicans in 2022 or preparing for the 2024 primary?” the official added.
Bill Palatucci, a national committeeman from New Jersey, said the fact that the RNC made the payments to Trump’s attorneys in October was particularly frustrating given his own plea to party officials that same month for additional resources as the New Jersey GOP sought to push Republican Jack Ciattarelli over the finish line in his challenge to incumbent Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy.
“We sure as heck could have used $121,000,” Palatucci told CNN. [CNN/Politics]
They need to understand that, to Trump, money is holy, and he who has lots of it at their death is better in God’s eyes than the losers who didn’t do as well.
That’s all this really comes down to, shameful as it is. The RNC is party to one of the oddest death cults we’ve ever seen.
