Republican National Committee members voted today to ban NBC and CNN and their affiliates from their presidential primary debates if the networks don't ax planned specials on potential White House contender Hillary Clinton which the GOP said "amounts to little more than extended commercials."
The unanimous vote, taken this morning at the RNC's summer meeting at the Westin Waterfront, makes good on threats by RNC chairman Reince Priebus, who today called the network's decisions "nonsense."
"These programming decisions are an attempt to show political favoritism and put a thumb on the scales of the next presidential election," a copy of the resolution reads.
Priebus argued today that there are "plenty of other outlets" to broadcast the debates. With the vote, the GOP also vowed to sanction any primary debates the networks sponsor.
"We'll still reach voters, maybe more voters," he said. "But CNN and NBC anchors will just have to watch on their competitors' networks. The media overplayed their hand this time."
The decision drew an almost immediate response from Democrats, who questioned if the GOP "will ever be serious about outreach."
"It seems that Republicans don't get," DNC press secretary Michael Czin said in a statement released minutes after the RNC completed its vote. "If they truly want to connect with a broader audience, they need an agenda that fights for the middle class and is inclusive. Sadly, it appears that with today's vote, their approach is to actually speak to even fewer voters."
