NEW -- RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel today -- one year and 11 days after the 2020 presidential race was called for Joe Biden, refused to say that he had legitimately won the election, and instead insisted there were "problems" that needed to be looked into.

She also refused to say whether the reporting in Jon Karl's book, that Trump threatened to leave the Republican to create his own, was accurate.
She also refused to say whether the party and the RNC in particular has a responsibility to make sure their next nominee does not try to overthrow the republic, as Trump did after he lost.
Instead, she rattled off many of the various grievances that Trump has repeatedly aired about his term in office and the 2020 election, from the investigation into the assistance his 2016 campaign received from Russia to “Big Tech” to changes in voting rules brought on by COVID.
When McDaniel was pressed for examples of the election "problems," she responded with claims that the news media did not aggressively cover Biden’s campaign to point out more of his flaws or sufficiently play up “scandals” that dominated outlets loyal to Donald Trump.
“I think the fact that he sat in his basement and he didn’t get vetted and the media gave him a free pass on that,” she said.
Finally, she was asked whether Old Crow Mitch McConnell needed to be replaced, as the leader of her party has demanded. She would not answer that, either.
Oh, and she also claimed that the Mueller investigation was based on the Steele Dossier.
That, of course, is false.
And both Mueller and a Senate committee report showed pretty clearly that the Russians worked to get Trump elected and that Trump welcomed the help.
