Donald Trump’s newly installed leadership team at the Republican National Committee on Monday began the process of pushing out dozens of officials, according to two people close to the Trump campaign and the RNC.
All told, the expectation is that more than 60 RNC staffers who work across the political, communications and data departments will be let go. Those being asked to resign include five members of the senior staff, though the names were not made public. Additionally, some vendor contracts are expected to be cut.
Yeah, “bloodbath” plus “slashes” made me think this was a report of violence at a Trump event, which is entirely plausible these days. I agree this is completely irresponsible, and also a totally unnecessary way of framing what happened.
Edit: especially with such a consequential and potentially violent election getting underway, we all need to be damn sure of it if there actually is a bloodbath somewhere.
