GOP Rebranding Effort Fizzles
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) “generated the kind of buzz other politicians covet when he launched his bid to help rebrand the Republican Party last spring,” Politico reports.
But his National Council for a New America “has since flamed out — at least publicly.”
“Since its launch, the National Council hasn’t held a single public event, despite more than 5,000 invitations to take their show out on the road. Congressional ethics rules limit what Cantor can do with the group because he launched it from his leadership office, making it harder to organize events and recruit partners. Despite that caution, the group is still taking heat from outside watchdog groups that argue he is violating the spirit, and perhaps the letter, of those rules.”
