Republicans Just Passed A Resolution To Boycott CNN And NBC Over Hillary Clinton
BOSTON —
The Republican National Committee passed unanimously on Friday to pass a resolution that will prevent NBC and CNN from hosting Republican primary debates unless the networks cease production of their projects on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The resolution, in which the RNC says that Clinton is "likely" to run for president in 2016, blasts both networks and says the projects will "jeopardize will the credibility of CNN and NBC as supposedly unbiased news networks."
The resolution serves as a high-profile attempt for the RNC to gain more control over its debate process during the Republican primary. It was something that hurt Republican candidates during a grueling primary schedule in 2011 and 2012, and allowed for Mitt Romney to make damaging comments, such as when he said his preferred method of solving the nation's immigration woes was "self-deportation."
The vote to pass the resolution came after Priebus delivered a fiery speech that earned him multiple standing ovations.
"The media overplayed their hand this time. It was so obvious even liberals saw it. After we took a stand, we found some unlikely allies on the left," Priebus told a crowd of delegates and RNC officials.
"Did you ever think you'd read the New York Times' Maureen Dowd writing, 'Reince is right?'"
The Washington Examiner reported on Thursday that names of conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin have been discussed as possible moderators. Together, the focus on Clinton and the propping up of possible conservative debate hosts has received a warm welcome within the conservative community. 
(An RNC official here said she didn't know how seriously those three names were being discussed.)
