Two senior congressional Republicans on Sunday declined to express confidence in Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele after revelations that the RNC spent $2,000 entertaining potential contributors at a sex-themed nightclub.
The controversy over Steele's leadership of the Republican National Committee comes as the party is hoping to seize back control of the U.S. Congress from President Barack Obama's Democrats in November congressional elections. But Steele's stewardship of the RNC is threatening to distract Republicans at a pivotal time.
...Steele has faced criticism for lavish spending by the Republican National Committee. For example, the RNC last month was forced to explain a $2,000 tab for entertaining young Republicans at a bondage-themed nightclub in West Hollywood that ended up costing an RNC staffer her job.
It would be interesting to know what Trey Grayson and Rand Paul think. Do they believe that Michael Steele should step down as RNC chairman?
