Chair Michael Whatley and co-chair Lara Trump move to reorganize the party, with an expected cull of 60 members
Donald Trumpās new leadership team at the Republican National Committee started the process of ousting scores of staffers on Monday night, clearing out its ranks as they prepare to bring the committee under the wing of the Trump 2024 presidential campaign, sources familiar with the matter said.
The RNC is expected to cull about 60 people across the political, data and communications departments. At least five members of the senior staff will be let go and some third-party contracts may also be cancelled. One source familiar with the situation described it as an āabsolute bloodbathā.
In ousting large swathes of the RNC, the new chair Michael Whatley and the new co-chair Lara Trump ā the former presidentās daughter-in-law ā moved to reorganize the Republican partyās central committee to fall squarely behind the Trump campaign just days after they were formally elected.
The only difference in those purges,they were executed.
Edit: You know, I do wonder how they will kill off political opposition. Itās pretty much a certainty that weāll see it as it happens.
āIf, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ā43 had come immediately after the āGerman Firmā stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ā33. But of course this isnāt the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.ā

Donāt rule that out as a near future possibility.
It also happened after Hitler had consolidated power at the top of the government.
