Priebus Downplays Talk That RNC Is in Chaos Over Trump: ‘Nothing Has Changed’

After that shocking Donald Trump audio came out, almost the entire Republican party freaked out. The RNC reportedly halted its “victory project” for Trump and Reince Priebus did not make his planned Sunday show appearances yesterday due to some reported tensions.

Oh, and there was also a report that Priebus was telling Republicans to do what they think is best where Trump is concerned.

But Priebus today insisted all is well.

Per Politico:

“Over the last 24 to 48 hours there have been a lot of false rumors that we didn’t want to engage in,” Priebus told the 168 members of the RNC, many of whom have also stood behind Trump, according to a person on the call. “Nothing has changed in terms of our support for the nominee.”

Priebus told them that Trump had issued a “heartfelt” apology and that “I think the issue was taken care of at the debate.”

…which is why Paul Ryan told Republicans today they gotta do what they gotta do?
