RNC Won’t Publicly Defend Decision to Back Roy Moore

“The RNC’s renewed support for Roy Moore comes with a peculiar caveat: No one at the RNC is actually defending the decision publicly,” BuzzFeed News reports.

“On Tuesday — as the national party took a beating for the decision — including from many fellow Republicans, the RNC remained silent. Several RNC committee members acknowledged frustrations but would not speak on the record. Senior party leaders punted questions to spokespersons who declined to comment.”

Said one source close to the RNC: “Oh man. It’s embarrassing.”
