These people have no sense of any distinctions between public service, self service, commercialism, etc. Next we'll have Ted Cruz hawking tires, MTG shilling for deodorant and Boebert on an infomercial for Ultra beer.

That's a lot of money- so you Trump supporters living paycheck to paycheck,... are going to have to dig deeper.

You might think of feeling sorry for the RNC but they’re the idiots that voted for Lara and Whatshisface.

Questions: aren't there laws addressing political parties, and laws on election campaigns, but what happens if one merges the two entities, what are the legalities in this case, conflicts of interest?

Generally there are some fundraising restrictions in place they can work around. After the nominating convention, it is usual for the nominee campaign to merge operations with the party apparatus.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/10/politics ... index.html
The Republican National Committee last week sent out a scripted call to voters’ phones on behalf of new co-chair Lara Trump saying Democrats committed “massive fraud” in the 2020 election.

It’s the latest example of how the RNC under the former president’s daughter-in-law is perpetuating lies about the 2020 election, even as prominent Republicans say the party needs to look forward to win in 2024.

“We all know the problems. No photo IDs, unsecured ballot drop boxes, mass mailing of ballots, and voter rolls chock full of deceased people and non-citizens are just a few examples of the massive fraud that took place,” the RNC call said. “If Democrats have their way, your vote could be canceled out by someone who isn’t even an American citizen.”

The claim of “massive fraud” in the 2020 election marks a significant shift in messaging for the RNC because lies about the 2020 election had not been a consistent theme in its messaging since Donald Trump left office.

But the call’s message is largely consistent with the views publicly espoused over the past four years by Lara Trump, who was elected as co-chair in early March as part of Donald Trump’s takeover of the GOP. Lara Trump has a long history of echoing his election fraud claims, according to a CNN KFile analysis of her past statements as a commentator and surrogate for the former president.

“I’m sure you agree with co-chair Trump that we cannot allow the chaos and questions of the 2020 election to ever happen again,” said the call, which was obtained by CNN’s KFile from the anti-robocall application Nomorobo, which estimated 145,000 calls were sent with the message from April 1-7.
