7. she's a disgusting piece of work....

The New York Times described McDaniel as "unfailingly loyal to Trump."[2] According to a 2018 study in The Journal of Politics, under her leadership the RNC has sought to consistently promote Trump and his policies.[1] This includes running ads for Trump's 2020 campaign as early as in 2018, putting a considerable number of Trump campaign workers and affiliates on the RNC payroll, spending considerable funds at Trump-owned properties, covering Trump's legal fees in the Russian interference investigation, hosting Trump's "Fake News Awards", and harshly criticizing Trump critics within the Republican Party.[1] The day after Republican congressman Mark Sanford, known for his criticism of Trump, lost his primary against a pro-Trump candidate, McDaniel tweeted that those who do not embrace Trump's agenda "will be making a mistake".[16][17] In April 2018, McDaniel praised Trump as a "moral leader".[18]

Politico reported that after President Trump endorsed Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore just days before the special Alabama Senate election, the White House influenced McDaniel to resume RNC funding for Moore, who lost in a narrow election to Democrat Doug Jones on December 12, 2017. According to two people close to McDaniel, she privately complained about spending time and money on Moore’s behalf. McDaniel was shocked by Trump's decision to endorse Moore but felt that she had little choice but to follow the president's wishes.[19]

In October 2017 after Harvey Weinstein, a major donor to the Democratic Party, was accused of sexual abuse, McDaniel said that "returning Weinstein's dirty money should be a no-brainer". In January 2018, Steve Wynn resigned as RNC finance chairman after he was accused of sexual misconduct and McDaniel came under pressure to return his donations. McDaniel said that Wynn should be allowed "due process" and that his donations would only be returned after the allegations were investigated by the Wynn Resorts board of directors.[20][21][22]

Under McDaniel's leadership, the RNC set up a website in April 2018 which attacked and sought to undermine former FBI Director James Comey and called him "Lyin' Comey".[23] McDaniel said that Comey was a "liar" and a "leaker", and said that the RNC would "make sure the American people understand why he has no one but himself to blame for his complete lack of credibility".[23][24] Tapper also asked McDaniel how the RNC has any "moral ground to question anyone's integrity" when its top executives and associates—Elliott Broidy, Steve Wynn and Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen—are all under investigation for sexual improprieties, arranging hush payments to cover these up, or fraud. Tapper also pointed out the numerous false claims that have been made by President Trump and pointed out the RNC's double standard.[24]
