Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Sunday that he’s “not at odds” with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign despite the real estate mogul’s rhetoric.

Trump has railed against the RNC, saying that nomination process is “rigged” and unfair. Priebus called Trump’s words “hyperbole.”

“I’m not at odds. I’m really not at odds,” Priebus said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “There’s nothing that the RNC can do to alter the rules between now and the convention. It’s not the RNC’s place. So I don’t internalize — I don’t sit here and internalize the charge because there’s no there there because there’s nothing the RNC can do about it.”

    Hyperbole refers to a statement that contains inherent truth, but is exaggerated. So Priebus is unintentionally giving some credence to Trump?

    Because otherwise, he should have called it bullsh*t, outlandish, and untrue.

  4. Reince Priebus is simply parroting Megyn Kelly’s claim during her vendetta with Donald Trump.

    Reince Priebus inherited a Republican party that was healthy and vibrant from Michael Steele. By the sheer dint of his incompetence and corruptness, Reince has managed to make a mess on an unimaginable scale.
