Ronna McDaniel, Chairwoman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), sidestepped questions about former President Trump’s controversial social media post on Veterans Day. In his post, Trump pledged to “root out the Communist, Marxist, racist, and radical left thugs.” McDaniel avoided discussing this issue directly but focused on Trump’s support for veterans and the RNC’s efforts against President Biden’s administration. Trump’s language and accusations against the Left have faced criticism for their divisiveness and claims of wanting to destroy America.
McDaniel’s Responses and Focus: During an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” McDaniel chose not to comment directly on Trump’s language. Instead, she highlighted Trump’s support for veterans and shifted the conversation towards the recent RNC debate and the party’s dedication to countering President Biden’s policies. Similarly, during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” McDaniel refrained from condemning the post and stated that she did not want to discuss candidates involved in contested primaries and had not seen the entire speech.
Trump’s Controversial Veterans Day Posts: Former President Trump faced backlash for his Veterans Day post on Truth Social, where he vowed to remove what he referred to as “Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs” from the country. He accused these groups of seeking to destroy America and its democratic processes. Trump reiterated similar language during a rally in New Hampshire on the same day. However, he also expressed gratitude to veterans in a separate post, acknowledging their sacrifices and dedication.
