Republican National Committee Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel said on Sunday that President Donald Trump had “strengthened” the GOP by after pro-Trump conservatives launched an attack on her uncle, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT).

“The Conservative Political Action Conference has disinvited [Mitt Romney] from an upcoming meeting,” Brennan explained. “They put this ad online, there are TV ads against him. Do you think this is proper political retaliation?”

“The president has strengthened our party,” McDaniel insisted.

“I’m not sure if you saw the ad but it was you uncle’s face,” Brennan observed.

“I haven’t seen the ad,” McDaniel admitted. “That’s the grassroots part of our party and their upset when people aren’t supporting the president and are not supporting our party. They think if you aren’t supporting him, you are helping a Democrat get elected.”

“Okay,” Brennan said. “I understand you don’t want to comment on your uncle.”

‘We knew what would happen’ under Trump — but the media just played along: CNN commentator Wajahat Ali

Published

on

Last week, the right-wing rage machine seized on a viral CNN clip that featured former Republican strategist Rick Wilson and commentator Wajahat Ali, who appeared to mock Donald Trump's supporters for their general ignorance and slavish devotion to their leader. Host Don Lemon started laughing so hard he had to put his head on his desk. Trump and his followers in the conservative media, needless to say, were not amused.

For all of Trump and his supporters' complaints about "political correctness" and how liberals are "snowflakes," they're the ones constantly in search of safe spaces. Trump called Lemon, not for the first time, "the dumbest man on television (with terrible ratings!)" Ivanka Trump piggybacked on her father's complaints with: "You consistently make fun of half the country and then complain that it is divided. The arrogance, mocking accents and smug ridicule of this nation's 'Real Elites' is disgusting."
