Vegas casino magnate Steve Wynn will be the new Republican National Committee finance chairman, Fox News confirmed Monday.

Wynn, a real estate developer whose financial empire has included the Mirage and Bellagio resort hotels on the Las Vegas strip, accepted the job after being asked directly by President Trump, Fox also has learned.

Wynn becoming the top fundraiser for Washington Republicans ahead of the 2018 elections was reported first by Lifezette.com.

He was the finance vice chairman of Trump’s inaugural committee that reportedly raised roughly $90 million.

Apparently Republicans have become weary of trying to rationalize or explain away their phoney, hypocritical so-called "family values," and have made a decision to go Whole Hog with the degenerate diaper-clad, toe-tapping, pee-stained, hate-driven lie-encrusted vulgar reality of their actual CASINO VALUES.

I guess we should all applaud their, um, owning who they really are ?

He was briefly active here in Philly attempting to get one of 2 casino licenses. He eventually pulled the bid. He had been involved in a different casino project here in an attempt to save it and that eventually faltered. Before that, he had been involved in earlier casino proposals and eventually dropped his proposed site, afterwhich Drumpf picked up that site to submit his own casino proposal.

Wonder how much of that $90 million he and Drumpf pocketed.
