RNC chairman stands by Trump at campaign event
By Harper Neidig
In a surprise appearance on the campaign trail Friday, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus gave a speech introducing GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump at a rally in Erie, Pa.
The unexpected cameo was a clear attempt to contrast with the latest rounds of high-profile Republicans joining the “Never Trump” ranks.
Priebus blasted Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton over her email scandal, saying she “has a problem with lying,” and prompting a loud round of “lock her up” chants.
“Well let’s do this,” Priebus responded, “Let’s beat her in November, OK?”
