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.

It sounds so nice
I said it twice
WOW....just wow.
And zero money spent for lawyers in Arizona or Nevada in November 2022.
LOL. That also works.
I did the same till the mid 90s. And as a donor I started meeting political consultants.
Trust me most of them are sewer scum.
Not to mention the #Ruling Class has healthcare that we are not allowed.
Political parties believe in nothing. They’re companies selling BS. Don’t give them money. Donate to candidates you believe in but NEVER donate to a party.
I heard about this. Some woman w/ a foreign accent called Wilkow’s show and started reading off the line items.
So it appears it doesn’t matter if they are called Democrats or Republicans, they are all part of the DC Swamp whose only real goal is to maintain power, live high on the hog and lie to their alleged supporters.
Get rid of Rona.
You’d THINK that these “leaders” would want to protect their personal gravy trains.
They did they spent billions to make sure Trump wouldn’t win they teamed up with the democrats so the cake gets fatter and the gravy train ride is much smoother.
The last thing the want is order no money in it another reason they hate Trump his ways worked and it’s bad business for them.
I’m pretty sure the DNC spends way more than this but still this is the story of the Deep State.
Free stuff for the Elite, and a stab in the back to the Base.
Apparently, 40% of the donor’s money is spent on fundraising.
$321,000 on flowers and $36,000 on alcohol?
Any thoughts?
“Bipartisan” is plenty of reward for these grifters. They get all the perks and OPMs without having to catch the arrows. The democrats don’t care about being attacked because they can now sick the entire bureaucracy on their enemies and utterly destroy them. The GOP are a bunch of cowards selling out everything for their seat at the kids table.
