McDaniel: I’d Only Debate Lindell At A Private Event

Mediaite reports:

RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel said she would be willing to debate Mike Lindell and/or Harmeet Dhillon, both of who are challenging her for her job. But she said she would only be willing to do it behind closed doors after she was asked by Steve Bannon if she would participate in a town hall or another public forum.

McDaniel said, “I’m always happy to talk to the 168. I’m always happy to talk to the 168. So, I’m talking to them every day.”

Bannon cut in, “But would you be open to do it in a more public forum so this stuff could be aired?” McDaniel responded, “I’m Interested in doing things in front of the 168, that’s what I’m interested in doing.”

Read the full article. “The 168” refers to the number of RNC members who vote for the chairperson. Three leaders from each state party get a vote as do 18 national RNC officials. McDaniel came under new fire this week for “lavish spending” after RNC financials were leaked by a man linked to Dhillon.
