RNC Chairperson Ronna McDaniel announced Tuesday that she will resign following South Carolina’s state primary later this month. Although her statement lacked an explanation, pundits have speculated broadly that President Donald J. Trump has lost confidence in McDaniel’s ability to manage the RNC’s coffers at a time when every campaign dollar counts. And while that is mostly accurate, there’s more than meets the eye.
As reported previously, McDaniel refused to investigate allegations of voter fraud in the Iowa Caucuses after White Hats, through an intermediary, provided what they called substantive proof that one of Nikki Haley’s staffers—known only as “Joan” –had tried to buy votes for her boss with a slew of $1,000 prepaid gift cards. McDaniel was given a video of Joan circulating the cards, the testimony of two U.S. Army CID Warrant officers, and copies of Joan’s banking history illustrating she was a financially irresponsible individual who never had more than $500 in her checking account. The White Hat’s inescapable inference was that Haley had bought the cards and given them to Joan to distribute on her behalf.
According to a CID spokesperson, McDaniel called the evidence “spurious” and “flimsy” because Joan accepted sole responsibility for handing out the gift cards to “bring light and love to Iowans.”
“Joan still won’t say who, if anyone, got the cards or if she did the purchasing. She says it’s none of our damn business. Obviously, we haven’t looked to beat a confession out of her. And she doesn’t seem to mind being held in indefinite detention. She’s not what we’d call your standard Deep State asset. And try as we might, we can’t bargain a confession from her tying Haley into the picture, even though Haley’s involvement is the only logical answer. And McDaniel said without a confession from Joan or Haley, the RNC didn’t have time to waste on baseless claims,” the CID source said.
Her dismissing the evidence prompted CID to change course: They forwarded their findings and McDaniel’s response to President Donald J. Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
“Let’s just say President Trump wasn’t happy. He said he would summon her for a meeting,” our source said.
A second source, this one at Mar-a-Lago, confirmed to Real Raw News that an unhappy and disheveled McDaniel had arrived at Mar-a-Lago Monday, February 5, and received a chewing out that would have enervated the soul of even the most robust people, which she was not. President Trump, the source said, tore McDaniel a new sphincter, firing volleys of vitriolic missives that left McDaniel stunned and on the verge of tears. The president demanded an explanation for why she had ignored CID’s conclusions, and she meekly attributed her inaction to CID’s “meritless” data. She reportedly told Trump “since you beat her in Iowa by a landslide, what’s the big deal anyway?”
“You’re bad at what you do. Very bad. What happened? Did I misjudge you in a big way?” Trump said to her.
The misjudgment would’ve come in December 2016 when Trump picked McDaniel as his recommendation to replace Priebus. At the time—and until recent events—she seemed like a promising replacement; in 2020, she and RNC identified voter fraud in the general election and worked laboriously to overturn Biden’s stolen victory, and in 2022, she argued on behalf of innocent patriots whom the criminal Biden regime imprisoned for peacefully visiting the Capitol on J6, correctly characterizing their presence as “lawful citizens engaged in constitutionally protected political discourse.”
Nonetheless, her rejection of JAG’s results eclipsed any earlier benevolence, and President Trump clamorously voiced his disapproval and said, “Ronna, I’m not calling you a traitor, but you’re bad at what you do, and you’re out. You can get out the nice way or the hard way and I think you know the hard way won’t be a very good look for you.”
“The nice way is a graceful resignation. President Trump didn’t describe the hard way, but it’s safe to assume McDaniel didn’t want to find out and incur Trump’s wrath,” the Mar-a-Lago source said.
