A Republican National Committee spokesworm tells the National Review that it wasn’t Chairwoman Ronna Not-Romney’s idea to draft a resolution declaring disgraced former President Trump to be the party’s “presumptive nominee” for the 2024 election, as if Ronna herself didn’t just go on Fox News less than 24 hours ago to call on Nikki “Birdbrain” Haley to drop out of the race immediately.

“Resolutions, such as this one, are brought forward by members of the RNC. Chairwoman McDaniel doesn’t offer resolutions,” said spokeswiener Keith Schipper, adding “This will be taken up by the Resolutions Committee and they will decide whether to send this resolution to be voted on by the 168 RNC members at our annual meeting next week.” National Review’s article says that douchebag Trump 2016 deputy campaign manager David Bossie, now a Maryland RNC committeeman, was the one who introduced the resolution. Meaning Ronna picked the right guy to outsource this to.

Whoever’s idea it was matter less than how it will go when it gets in front of the committee’s 168 members next week. National Review doesn’t give the whip count, but writes that “The move came as a surprise to some RNC committee members, many of whom told National Review that they plan to vote against the draft resolution should it formally come up for consideration next week at the GOP’s Las Vegas meeting,” before quoting a handful who are opposed. So we’ll see how it goes.

UPDATE 1/25/2024 6:29 PM EDT: Trump told them to back off in a Truth Social post.
