For the cult of the Republican Party, there is one God, and one God only and his name is Donald Trump. His daughter-in-law Lara Trump, who will apparently soon be installed as RNC chair, now says the cult should pay for Trump’s ever-increasing legal bills:
Lara Trump said Wednesday while campaigning for her father-in-law ahead of the South Carolina primary that she was not familiar with the RNC’s rules about paying Donald Trump’s legal fees in a multitude of criminal and civil cases.
But she said she thought the idea would get broad support among GOP voters who see his legal cases as political persecution.
“That’s why people are furious right now. And they see the attacks against him. They feel like it’s an attack not just on Donald Trump but on this country,” she said. “So yeah I think that is a big interest to people, absolutely.”
