During an RNC meeting this week, GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel became “choked up” after defending herself from allegations that she is personally profiting off a new fundraising system that the Party has put in place. It is unclear if the Party believes her, just as it isn’t clear that McDaniel is pulling in extra cash on the side, but what is clear is that the new procedures and companies being used are linked to a former Trump staffer as well as the Kushner family. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this. Link –

For the last two days and all through the rest of the day. Today, the RNC and their officials are meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina for a little three day chat about fundraising. And this event kicked off on Wednesday, you know, closed door meeting and it began with GOP chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel, almost breaking into tears, defending herself from accusations from these other RNC officials that she is profiting from the new, uh, donor system that the Republican Party has chosen to use. That donor system is called WinRed a much like the democratic system is ActBlue. Now the reason that the Republicans have decided to go with this new WinRed donor system where all the candidates, we'll get into this one system. It has a list of all the people who've given money. They can reach out to them if they're in their state or if they're running for a national election, whatever it is.
This is basically the big donor database, just like ActBlue is for the Democrats. It's a way to reach out to the small donors to target them. And after the shellacking, the Republican's token, the 2018 midterms, they realized they needed something to counteract the Democrats ActBlue. And they said, hey, here's this WinRed thing. Donald Trump is endorsing it like crazy. Let's go with this. And when McDaniel decided, okay, yeah, let's go with this. It raised some eyebrows because Republicans already had a couple other systems in place that did the same thing WinRed was not as effective, did not have as big of a database. So why would we go to something that's smaller, that's less efficient, and we don't even know if it works yet. But Ronna said, nope, we're going to do it. So it immediately sparked fears among RNC officials that Ronna McDaniel was somehow profiting off of it. And I'm going to say this.
And I hate to have to say this, but after I read this original article here on Politico, I did a search for it because I wanted to find out, well, why do they think she's on the take? You know, why do they think she's profiting from this? I couldn't find anything. It's just accusations. So far from what I was able to find. Then if you, honestly, if you have an article or something that talks about this, please do send it to me. You send it to me on Twitter, whatever. But I, cause I want to see it because I have no doubt that that's probably what's happening. I just need to see the evidence before I can actually say that. But folks, I couldn't find evidence to suggest or any article linking her to WinRed or any of the companies that WinRed contracts to run these donations. So it's a little bit confusing here as to why she is being accused of these things when people aren't out there making the connections. Again, I'm, I'm sure they exist. Republicans are corrupt to the core, but you got to come with a little bit of evidence. And again, Ronna was defending herself at the beginning of this meeting and according to those in attendance, she got choked up.
