A member of the Republican National Committee resigned over the weekend, citing her disgust with the RNC’s support for embattled GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore, according to multiple reports.

Joyce Simmons, a RNC member from Nebraska, informed RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel of her resignation on Dec. 8. In a Monday statement, Simmons said she was driven to cut ties with the national party over its continued support for Moore after he was accused of molesting teenaged girls.

“I strongly disagree with the recent RNC financial support directed to the Alabama Republican Party for use in the Roy Moore race,” Simmons said in a statement.

Simmons cited Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), who has criticized Moore and said over the weekend that the state could "do better."

No comment on this so far from the RNC.

1. Formerly known as Ronna Romney McDaniel until DOTUS asked her to drop her maiden name.

The Romney family's got spines of thin aluminum.

4. That's why she quit.

Had nothing to do with Moore.

6. But it was Joyce Simmons that quit--not Ronna McDaniel.....

Nonetheless, glad at least Simmons quit. Maybe eventually Ronna will get the picture!!

8. Gradually, those with cajones & principals are coming forth.

In both parties...but particularly the Repub party, where it's RARE to disagree or break ranks.

9. "I've spent a lifetime in the service of evil...."

"... But now, the evil behavior of the Republican Party has touched upon my own life in such a way that I can actually relate to it, and now I am disgusted. Applaud the ethics and morality of my resignation!"
