Trump’s RNC Takeover Is on the Brink of Becoming a ‘Purge’
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.
Purges don't need to be associated with violence, per se. That's just how Stalin and Hitler liked them. You can also simply throw them out of their positions though, so they can no longer stand against you.
Still a purge. Corporations sometimes do purges.
