Ronna Romney McDaniel, the niece of Massachusetts U.S. Senator Mitt Romney and chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, regretted and regretted supporting Trump‘s lawyers in challenging the 2020 presidential vote, U.S. media gateway experts reported on Tuesday (Feb. 2).
According to a Feb. 1 report by U.S. media outlet 100 Percent Fed Up, on the eve of the 2016 presidential vote, Ronna McDaniel, then chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, before rushing to Trump’s final campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Mich. made an important phone call. The call was not to a member of the Trump campaign or to a major Trump donor, but to Marian Sheridan, a grassroots leader of the Michigan Republican Party.
McDaniel’s call was urgent; she needed Sheridan to find as many volunteers as possible to come to the Convention Center (TCF Center) in Detroit, Michigan, on Election Day to monitor the processing of ballots.
Why the rush? The reality is that Michigan’s Republican leader, Mike Daniels, is so indifferent to the issue that he has not arranged for a Republican vote inspector to be at the largest polling place in Michigan, the Democratic stronghold of Wayne County, on voting day.
Sheridan, the woman who worked harder than any other Republican in Michigan to help Trump win the vote, was headed to Trump’s final rally in Grand Rapids. But she couldn’t go to this rally because she had to stay and finish what Michigan Republican Party Chairman Mike Daniels should have done months ago.
Of course, Trump ended up winning Michigan in 2016, where the conservative coalition did more to help Trump win than anyone else, yet the 2017 Republican National Committee chairmanship still went to McDaniel.
Let’s fast forward to November 6, four years ago, when McDaniel stood in front of the media and courageously announced to them that the Republican Party would fight to ensure free, fair elections, telling them, “Every candidate for every public office, from the presidential level to the local level, has the legal right to challenge the improprieties that occur during the voting process. ” She added, “We intend to ensure that every legitimate voter votes, that inspectors have the access they deserve under state law, and that any irregularities, whether they occur out of malice or incompetence, are fully investigated to the fullest extent allowed by law.”
McDaniel told the media that “we will not abandon this recovery process until every last issue is resolved.” She then cited a series of egregious incidents reported by poll inspectors, including threats and intimidation of vote counting staff.
Fast forward to 2021, Biden is in office, and the Republican National Committee chairman, who was given a second term by President Trump, has suddenly expressed regret, saying he should not have supported a challenge to the November 2020 presidential ballot question.
In a new interview, U.S. media outlet The Hill reported that McDaniel expressed regret that she let former President Trump’s lawyers, Giuliani and Powell, make unsubstantiated statements about the 2020 election vote at the Republican National Committee headquarters.
In an interview with The New York Times, McDaniel also said she thought it was wrong to allow Giuliani and Powell, at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C., to announce that the vote was questionable just days after the vote.
McDaniel told the New York Times, “I was certainly concerned when I saw some of the things that Powell’s lawyers were saying that were not in evidence, because it was happening in my building. What kind of liability will these allegations bring to the Republican National Committee if the challenges they make are unfounded? We have to deal with a lot of those aspects of that.”
