Prominent Republicans are playing the blame game and in turn, they are eating some of their own. Case in point: Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. She has been one of Donald Trump’s most loyal sycophants, but it’s clear loyalty in the Trump orbit isn’t reciprocated. Today, CNN’s Jim Acosta is reporting that “The president’s eldest son and his girlfriend have made it clear to campaign and WH officials they are unhappy with RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, who they view as not having done enough to win a close race.”
And we are getting more information today on a similar situation going on in Georgia. Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler are calling for the state’s Republican Secretary of State to resign because he “failed to deliver honest and transparent elections.” In other words, he failed to somehow manipulate the system to hand them wins. Democrat Jon Ossoff, who will face Perdue in a January runoff put it this way, “they are shell shocked they felt entitled to a cakewalk, and instead they got the fights of their lives. They aren’t liking it and they are taking it out on one another.”
