“Please explain to women if and why you think it is appropriate to attach your organizations to pornographic enterprises? Did you really swill drinks, ogle young girls and plan party business at this kind of establishment?”

The Republican National Committee spent nearly $2,000 at a strip club featuring women performing simulated lesbian and bondage sex shows.

Penny Nance, CEO of Concerned Women for America (CWA) immediately put out a statement calling the episode “outrageous.”

“Please explain to women if and why you think it is appropriate to attach your organizations to pornographic enterprises? Did you really swill drinks, ogle young girls and plan party business at this kind of establishment?” Nance said.

Yesterday, Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council (FRC), told members, “Don’t give money to the RNC.”

“If you want to put money into the political process, and I encourage you to do so, give directly to candidates who you know reflect your values,” he said. “This latest incident is another indication to me that the RNC is completely tone-deaf to the values and concerns of a large number of people from whom they seek financial support.”

Fred Jackson of the American Family Association (AFA) said on Tuesday’s AFA Report that the RNC paying for the strip club visit is a “black eye” that shows “a divide in values even inside the Republican party.” For co-host Buster Wilson, the episode is a reminder that “politics is a very dirty business.”
