Lara Trump’s Unintentionally Honest Admission About The RNC Has Critics Nodding Hard

After Lara Trump was elected co-chair of the Republican National Committee, she claimed on Fox News that we'd see things from the RNC 'unlike you have ever seen before.'

After former President Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, was elected co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), she made an unintentionally honest pledge about the organization's future on her watch.

Speaking on Fox News, Lara Trump—the wife of Eric Trump—said:


"I can guarantee you that over the next eight months we're going to see things happen at the Republican National Committee unlike you have ever seen before because this is a must-win election."

You can hear her remarks in the video below.

Lara Trump previously vowed to spend “every single penny” on RNC funds to re-elect her father-in-law—and many saw her admission as further evidence that the Trumps would continue to funnel money normally allocated to other GOP candidates to Donald Trump's campaign.

In short, the Trumps have no plans to stop fleecing the party, let alone the public, anytime soon, and no one was surprised.


Both Lara Trump and Michael Whatley, who was elected to chair the RNC, received endorsements from Trump last month following the private announcement by Ronna McDaniel, who had led the committee since 2017, that she would be stepping down.

McDaniel found herself under mounting pressure both within and outside the committee to step down, driven by lackluster fundraising and criticisms of the GOP's unexceptional performance in the 2022 elections.

Several of Trump's allies accused McDaniel of not providing adequate support to the former president. They pointed to her neutrality during the Republican primary and her reluctance to accede to Trump's proposal to cancel a series of debates he had refused to participate in.

After securing her role, Lara Trump emphasized fundraising as a paramount objective, especially considering the RNC's historically low cash reserves, and presented a $100,000 check made out to the committee, received on the day of the new leadership elections, marking an initial step toward achieving their fundraising targets.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
