I say that it's unlikely that the RNC would be so blatant, being a bunch of spineless weasels. My guess it that some deep pocketed individual(s), coughed up the dosh. Perhaps Rebekah Mercer, one of the main funders of Parler, and daughter of Robert Mercer, founder of Cambridge Analytica put up the two million. She might be looking for a new hero for her right wing bulletin board/fever swamp

I suspect that that is where the bulk of the money came from. Wannabe murderers all over the country ponied up to set the poor boy free.

He is a hero to the right wingers for killing two liberals.

Law and order is a neat slogan but that's all it is.
