RNC dismisses call for Ronna McDaniel to resign as chairwoman over outreach to LGBTQ voters

The Republican National Committee is pushing back against a state party leader’s 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 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.

Come join the Republican party! We hate you, we'll discriminate against you, but if you hide who you are, we'll keep your taxes low and let you pollute as much you want!

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

If I recall, they didn't have a platform for 2020, just a bow down to Trump.
