Some Republicans are voicing anger over election of Lara Trump to RNC

Lara Trump, who is married to Donald Trump's son Eric Trump, was elected to the role with chairman Michael Whatley - another of the former president's supporters -- at a meeting in Houston, Texas, the RNC said in a news release Friday.

-----------

Many people online said that they are officially "no longer a Republican" while others said the GOP gets "progressively worse" with each new party boss and that the "nepotism on display" would amount to a "major Democrat party victory."

=-----------

Some, like U.S. Navy veteran Dan Stilwell, said that they would "not donate another penny" to the Republican Party as long as Lara Trump remains involved in its leadership. Others said that they would change from Republican to Independent, or vote for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the 2024 presidential election.

"Remember-Laura Trump said 'every single penny' will be spent on Trump," Kyle Sweetser, who identified themselves as a "Haley Republican," said on social media. "Pair that with the RNC resolution to ban paying Trump's legal bills being shot down, the GOP is in for a whole lot of losing in 2024."
