RNC Statement on Pia Dandiya’s Fundraiser with Far-Left Democrats

Commentary

If you are covering Pia Dandiya’s ritzy California fundraiser with JoAnna Mendoza, Emilia Sykes, and Denise Powell, please consider the following statement from the Republican National Committee: 

“Pia Dandiya isn’t spending the final campaign stretch with voters - she’d rather rub elbows with California elites who support defunding the police, raising taxes, and defunding ICE. Dandiya is just another radical Democrat who will stop at nothing to rubber stamp the far-left agenda.“ - RNC Spokeswoman Emma Hall

Since Dandiya is tying herself to Mendoza, Sykes, and Powell, she’s also tying herself to their records: 

JoAnna Mendoza: 

Emilia Sykes:

  • Voted against honoring Charlie Kirk who was assassinated by a left-wing lunatic radicalized by Democrats' vile rhetoric.  
  • Shut down the government to fund healthcare for illegals, even after admitting her constituents will suffer. 
  • Voted for the largest tax hike in history. 

Denise Powell:

  • Wants to defund immigration enforcement to protect criminal illegal aliens.
  • Ran away when asked why she supports the gender mutilation of children and allowing men to play in girls' sports.
