Democrats Celebrate Lara Trump Plunging RNC into 'Financial Disarray' [View all]

A leading Democrat has joked that the Republican National Committee is in "financial disarray" following sweeping changes introduced by its new leadership.

Jaime Harrison, the chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), said in an interview with MeidasTouch: "The RNC is down bad... they are in financial disarray, they are dealing with a mass purge of staffers just a few months before the election."

He added: "They're on one of the worst losing streaks we've seen in modern party politics in the history of this nation. "Go Lara go... girl you are doing it, you are knocking it out the park, keep doing it."

Harrison's remarks came after reports that the RNC had laid off more than 60 employees to cut costs since unveiling its new leadership team last week. Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, was elected co-chair of the RNC, while Michael Whatley, a long-time Trump supporter, was elected chair.
