RNC shuts down Hutchinson's push to amend loyalty pledge amid Trump indictment dramaTop Republican Party officials have a message for any candidate worried about signing a loyalty pledge to potentially support a convicted felon: Theres the door.
Despite at least one candidate expressing concerns about the Republican National Committees requirement that they support the eventual nominee in order to qualify for the debate stage this summer, the committee said there will be no changes to its protocols.
In light of Donald Trumps indictment for his handling of classified documents, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinsons campaign on Wednesday requested a meeting with RNC officials about amending the loyalty pledge, according to two people with knowledge of the conversation granted anonymity to speak candidly about a private conversation.
Members of RNC leadership arranged a call with Hutchinson on Thursday, but the former governor himself did not take part in the conversation, only a staff member. During the brief call, RNC leaders declined to make any changes to debate requirements and told the staffer the committee is not dealing with hypotheticals on Trumps legal fate. One of the individuals with knowledge of the call described it as contentious.

Members of the said deranged political party can either kiss it or kick it hard. There's no in-between.
