The Republican National Committee is pushing back against a state party leaders call for Ronna McDaniel to resign as RNC chairwoman over her outreach to the LGBTQ community.
The episode underscores the tension between the national party and some influential parts of the GOP base particularly Christian conservatives on the issue of LGBTQ rights.
In a statement to The Washington Post, RNC spokesperson Danielle Alvarez said Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman John Bennett is lying about the steps the national party plans to take as part of McDaniels 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 hed attempt to raise money off these falsehoods, Alvarez said.

(10,156 posts)It reminds me of this one trans right winger on YouTube that constantly shits on our community and makes us look like pedo's and rapists. She goes onto Steven Crowder's or Ben Shapiro's podcast, she'll say shit. And guess what? The wingers in the comments will still call her a man. She literally has no allies acting like a friend to the right, just so long as she toots the hatred train they have, they will accept her only if that. I will never accept an LGBTQIA+ person if they are a conservative. They are turncoats
