The GOP Will Spend $10 Million On Minority Outreach? Booker Rising Will Believe It When It Sees It.

RNC chair Reince Priebus: "the GOP will spend $10 million this year alone on minority outreach"

Of course, the pertinent question that Booker Rising has is this: what percentage of this $10 million will the Republican National Committee spend chasing after black voters (like, ahem, the 21% of black Americans who support limited government), versus Hispanic and Asian voters? Given the past waves of talk-but-no-action, call me skeptical about more than $500,000 being spent on black voter outreach. ABC News highlights the RNC chairman's statement about this initiative: "'The Obama campaign lived in these communities for years.  Their relationships were deep.  They were authentic,” Priebus said.  “We’re going to be announcing a $10 million initiative just this year which will include hundreds of people, paid, across the country, from coast to coast, in Hispanic, African American, Asian communities, talking about our party, talking about our brand, talking about what we believe in, going to community events, going to swearing-in ceremonies being a part of the community on an ongoing basis paid for by the Republican National Committee, to make the case for our party and our candidates.”
