North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Mike Whatley, heir apparent to take over the RNC after failed chairwoman Ronna Not-Romney departs later this month, has been busy cleaning up his social media history to make himself more MAGA-friendly, specifically by deleting a January 6, 2021 tweet that said “The actions of these violent protestors is completely unjustified and unacceptable. There is no rationale to excuse this assault on the foundations of our Democracy,” CNN reports.
Whatley can’t however delete video of an interview the next month where he said “I was a member of the Electoral College, and I proudly cast my vote for President Trump. But the Electoral college voted. And a majority was for Joe Biden and he is the President of the United States.”
