You might think that after being confronted with the party's leading candidate for president ranting in public about "Communists, Marxists, Fascist and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country" on NBC's "Meet the Press," the chair of the Republican National Committee would be compelled to say something other than "I am not going to comment on candidates and their campaign messaging." But not Ronna McDaniel.
