Iowa GOP Chairman Responds to RNC Letter
RNC Demands NBC & CNN Uphold Journalist Ethics
DES MOINES, Iowa- Today Iowa GOP Chairman A.J. Spiker issued a public statement in response to the RNC's letter to NBC and CNN regarding their decision to announce films celebrating the life of Hillary Clinton. The letter as penned by RNC Chairman Reince Priebus informs NBC and CNN that unless they cancel their plans to produce the films, the RNC will push to have the Republican National Committee refuse to partner with the networks on future Presidential debates. The statement from Iowa GOP Chairman A.J. Spiker reads:
"I stand with Reince Priebus and the RNC. I will not sign the Iowa GOP up to co-sponsor debates with NBC or CNN unless they pull their upcoming films on Hillary Clinton. Given NBC and CNN's decision to move forward on their films, they've attempted to give celebrity status to Hillary Clinton. They are clearly making an effort to influence the Presidential race in 2016 without adhering to their supposed pledge to uphold journalistic integrity. For far too long, Republicans have stood back and watched helplessly as news networks have covered anything but news, instead using their platforms to promote left leaning policies and candidates within the Democratic Party. It's time Republicans pushed back and refuse to let these media outlets decide who our next President will be. The Iowa GOP supports Reince Priebus in his decision and looks forward to helping the RNC start a new chapter in how Republicans across the country stand up to a biased media."
