(AP Photo/Jeff Roberson) When the Republican National Committee essentially told Donald Trump to kiss their grits after his attorneys sent them (and two other, powerful Republican party committees) cease and desist letters, it seemed that they had finally put their sassy pants on and were ready to stand up to someone – but unfortunately, that someone wasn’t a Democrat. The battle between the GOP establishment and Trump had largely flown under the radar until last weekend, when it was reported in the national media that Trump had issued the cease and desist letter. That letter was sent after the AP ran a story (which had to have been placed by a Never Trumper in the RNC) claiming that the RNC, NRSC, and NRCC were worried that Trump will hurt their fundraising efforts going into the 2022 midterms, and painting Trump as having only one concern – himself. The cease and desist letter was issued, then the RNC rejected it.
