Politico reports:
The Republican National Committee is launching a review of the party’s performance in the midterm election and bringing on a team of outside advisers to help guide strategy, as the GOP reckons with its disappointing performance in the election.
The RNC is tapping nearly a dozen people to serve in what it’s calling a “Republican Party Advisory Council” – a group that includes former Donald Trump White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, evangelical leader Tony Perkins and a pair of Senate candidates who ran this year.
The panel will also include former Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters, who in the wake of his loss has called on the party to move on from “consultant one-size-fits-all strategies.”
Read the full article. Perkins, you will recall, also played a large role in writing the official GOP 2016 party platform, which was revived without changes in 2020.
So right-wing extremist Blake Masters, despite just losing a very winnable Senate race, has been tapped by the RNC to sit on a new “Republican Party Advisory Council,” which tells you all you need to know about the state of the GOP’s midterms postmortem. https://t.co/ETfQnCXxze

The fact that Blake Masters is a part of the panel running this autopsy and not a subject of it seems highly problematic https://t.co/33ScAMTvZm
