The Republican National Committee’s chief counsel Charlie Spies has resigned two months after accepting the position.

Spies’ departure follows weeks of growing tension with RNC officials, a source familiar with the situation told CNN. His hiring rankled many Donald Trump loyalists who viewed the veteran Republican lawyer as at odds with the former president, given his previous work for Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney and Ron DeSantis.

…

Trump originally approved of the hiring, one source told CNN, but sources said the former president was angered after his allies pointed to clips of Spies criticizing the false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

    Do you think I could get away with showing up to a Trump rally acting like I was wearing such a shirt unironically? Do you think we could normalize shitting your pants in public?

    Interviewer to attendee: “Will you shit your pants live on camera for Trump? Will you prove your dedication to Trump?”

    That would do fuck all for us today, but we’d be doing such a big favor to future high school history teachers. Everyone would pay attention to the Trump era, laughing their asses off.
