Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Friday said the party must “go on offense” before their political rivals define them.
Speaking at the RNC’s winter meeting, Priebus said he’s “tired of playing defense.”
As a party, we must recognize that we live in an era of permanent politics. We must stop living nominee-to-nominee, campaign to campaign. As we saw this election, our opponent benefited from a multi-year head-start. Now is the time to begin to develop a permanent, national field infrastructure. This is the opportunity to get a head-start of our own.
In all of this, we must promote our values. We must define ourselves before others define us. I’m tired of playing defense, so let’s go on offense.
