moore. nobody will talk about the decision to do it. tonight buzz feed is reporting quote nobody at the rnc is actually defending the decision publicly when asked for comment, rnc officials would only speak quote on condition they not be identified. quote senior party members prompted questions to spokespersons that declined to comment. the silence speculated several gop sources is reflective of tensions between the rnc and white house but in getting back in bed with roy moore as it were, the rnc is essentially following president trump's lead. there is one person i know to speak to about this who i think knows how this all turns out. more than anybody else i could imagine and he's our guest, next.
