The pressure ratcheted up today on Republican National Chairman Reince Preibus to take some action following reports than an RNC Committeeman was behind the racially-charged TV ads in the campaign.
According to The Daily Caller, Ed Martin, the chairman of the Missouri Republican Party, sent a letter to RNC chairman Reince Priebus requesting him to appoint a special committee of RNC members to “investigate this matter” and report back on its findings.Martin wrote that an investigation is needed because “many of us are unsure of all of the facts and seek more.”
“Specifically, if one of our own members helped finance ads or robocalls that tarred tea partiers as a group as racists, I am sure that most RNC members would find that deeply offensive, indeed unacceptable,” Martin wrote.
