The Republican National Committee’s chief counsel Charlie Spies has resigned two months after accepting the position.

Spies’ departure follows weeks of growing tension with RNC officials, a source familiar with the situation told CNN. His hiring rankled many Donald Trump loyalists who viewed the veteran Republican lawyer as at odds with the former president, given his previous work for Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney and Ron DeSantis.

Trump originally approved of the hiring, one source told CNN, but sources said the former president was angered after his allies pointed to clips of Spies criticizing the false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

    You’ll never get one, that’s not usually how these movements go. The MAGAts will continue cannibalizing the GOP’s corpse until there’s nothing left. All the people crazy enough to support DJT will continue to gain power and prestige within the Republican community, and everyone with a brain will slowly be pushed out until they’re an independent.
