The Republican National Committee is dismissing a call for Ronna McDaniel to resign as chairwoman over her outreach to LGBTQ voters: washingtonpost.com/politics/repub…
In a statement to the Post, RNC spokesperson Danielle Alvarez said Oklahoma GOP Chairman John Bennett is “lying” about the steps the national party plans to take as part of McDaniel’s recent move to form the first-ever “RNC Pride Coalition.”
“Chairman McDaniel has made it abundantly clear that this does not mean we are advocating for any policy or RNC platform change — Chairman Bennett is lying and it is disgusting that he’d attempt to raise money off these falsehoods,” Alvarez said.
The episode underscores the tension between the national party and some influential parts of the GOP base on the issue of LGBTQ rights.
