Time and again, we\u2019ve watched McDaniel dismiss the dozens of brave women who stood up to tell their harrowing stories of sexual assault and harassment at the hands of Steve Wynn as insufficient evidence. We\u2019ve watched as she helped fund the campaign of Roy Moore, an alleged child molester, and supported a president who has been accused of sexual misconduct by over a dozen women.

Yet today, in the face of an admission of guilt from Wynn Resorts Ltd., the RNC has continued its shameful silence. What more is it going to take for McDaniel to keep her promise?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThis is the Republican Party. This is the party of Steve Wynn, Donald Trump, and Roy Moore. Democrats will refuse to stand by while the Republican Party denigrates women.
