I absolutely despise these SOBs.
There has been a common misconception, that the Chamber of Commerce is somehow a “Republican” organization.
Perhaps most of the members have purchased a RNC card, usually with a very large donation or series of donations, but in turn, they want “considerations”.
And the “considerations” include an agenda that is sometimes totally at odds with the public positions taken on whatever planks go into the party platform. This repeated fraud has been seen, notated, and the whistle blown at many junctures in recent years, and suddenly, a well-respected incumbent finds hard choices being thrust at himself -get in line with this other agenda, or you are out, capish’?
The Mafioso delivered their messages more subtly.
