At a Trump rally in Pennsylvania Friday, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus derided all those pesky media reports out there that he warned Trump he’s on a path to lose.

Don’t believe the garbage you read,” Priebus said, according to a report from Politico. “Let me tell you something: Donald Trump, the Republican Party, all of you, we’re gonna put him in the White House and save this country together.”

Earlier this week, Time magazine – citing two anonymous sources – reported that Priebus has threatened to stop diverting resources to Trump’s presidential campaign if he didn’t show improvement in the polls. Trump had denied it.

According to the Time piece, Priebus had threatened to reroute the funding to down-ballot races in the House and the Senate.
