Red State: Back in 2010, RNC Chair Michael Steele was heavily criticized and eventually lost his position because donors were angry about what they believed was luxurious spending on private jets, floral arrangements, chauffeur services, and member meetings in expensive tropical locales. Donors were used to frugality from the RNC under the George W. Bush administration, when “Karl Rove would bitch if there were flowers on the tables” and staff holiday parties were catered by Chick-fil-A.
Despite Joe Biden’s economy and three straight cycles of election losses, the RNC’s big-spending days are back with a vengeance.
Perhaps because of these losses both RNC donors and committee members are intensely interested in the committee’s finances, particularly the spending. Late last week, RedState was provided a report dated October 7, 2022 that examined RNC’s 2021-22 spending. It calculated more than $500,000 in private jet expenses, $64,000 at clothing retailers, and $321,000 in floral arrangements. more
All those spending numbers are great, but there’s only one that counts as effective:
Alcohol
Sounds like a money laundering operation.
The only REAL difference between the RNC and the DNC is one letter. Beyond that they are identical.
grayjohn’s right, they are two head on the same SNAKE!
RRMD vs SBF … whose the moar stylish crook?
Republicans are members of our swamp. I hope nobody starts a legitimate 3rd party. Forbenshnorget.
The RNC is a scam. And we’re the idiots tolerating it.
FTX much there, Ronna? It’s all fun & games when you are wasting other people’s money.
One would think they would spend that money on winning.

As long as they can burn thru money like drunken sailors, they think they are winning.
