Trump’s RNC Takeover Is on the Brink of Becoming a ‘Purge’
thedailybeast.com

From top to bottom, the national GOP organization could soon be rid of anyone seen as insufficiently MAGA.

First came the internal grumbling about Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee.

Then came McDaniel’s decision to step down from her post at the end of February as she lost the support of Donald Trump.

After that came Trump’s move to put forward a slate of loyalists to take over the party’s top spots—including an election-denying state party chair, a Trump campaign senior adviser, and the former president’s own daughter-in-law.

Next could come the purge.

“I think within 30 days you’ll see a purge of staffers from the RNC, because it’s a hotbed for anti-Trumpism,” Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist and host of the War Room podcast told The Daily Beast. “That’s the open secret.”

Skeptical holdouts within the RNC have gotten the message: Their days are numbered.

So you read the article and disagree that the removal of people insufficiently loyal to Trump in the RNC is going to happen (as already happened with the leadership)?

What? How did you possibly draw that conclusion from what I said

EDIT: because you can’t read Steve! You absolute FOOL

I’m just curious why you think a purge of non-loyalists from the ranks of the RNC is far fetched when that’s what just happened to RNC leadership?

Totally misunderstood this article Jesus Christ my bad dude

Just want to say I really respect that you've owned up to this throughout the thread. Being able to criticize yourself and admit to mistakes is absolutely critical in these discussions.
