After losing to Democrats in several key elections, several high-profile Republicans have begun calling for RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to resign. The Onion asked conservative public figures why McDaniel should be ousted from her leadership position, and this is what they said.

“We need fresh blood to scapegoat.”

“Republicans keep losing elections, and apparently she’s the candidate in all of them.”
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX)
“Ousting people is Republicans’ one and only skill.”
