Republican National Committee (RNC) chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel urged the Party to push back against the mainstream medias narrative and to hold strong and move forward so President Trump can accomplish his agenda, during an interview Tuesday on The Laura Ingraham Show.

As the media-fueled Russia collusion probe drags on and as congressional Democrats continue to resist and obstruct Trump at every turn, the RNC chairwoman said the GOP must unite against the Democrats playbook. Noting the media threw a collective fit after Trumps Cabinet members praised him during their first meeting Tuesday, McDaniel said the presidents opposition will grasp at any straw available to undermine his administration.

[The media] also failed to mention that the presidents only able to hold his first cabinet meeting five months into his administration because Democrats obstructed every chance they got to put these cabinet members through, McDaniel said. So they went through the Democrat-Senator-obstruction gauntlet, and they got to hold their first cabinet meeting yesterday five months into his administration two months later than President Obama was able to hold his first cabinet meeting.

"So I think they were pretty thrilled to even just be there and have that first meeting," McDaniel said. "That's what the Democrats have done. They've obstructed every chance they can get. They are resisting, they are playing out the clock. That's their game plan, and they're not being called out by the mainstream media."

McDaniel also pointed to the joint Maryland-Washington, D.C., lawsuit filed in federal court against Trump Monday alleging that the president has violated theForeign Emoluments Clause through his family business's accepting commercial money from foreign governments.

"The Democrats have a game. You've seen this now with the D.C. lawsuit. They're going to throw every type of investigation out there that they can. They want to throw as much cloud on this administration," McDaniel said. "The Democrats they have their playbook. It's out there for all of us to see. Draw out the clock, throw as much doubt on this administration as possible. Resist. Obstruct. We have to push back. The RNC is in lockstep with the White House."

"We have to push back, and it's going to take leadership in the House and the Senate to do that," McDaniel added.

The RNC chairwoman also expressed her frustration at the toll the nearly yearlong Russia-election interference investigation has taken on Trump and his administration.

"I think we also need to ask for a quick resolution. I mean, this did start last July under [former FBI] Director Comey. And we do need to figure out whatever Russia did trying to interfere and how the Obama administration failed miserably to understand the threat that Russia was," McDaniel said. "Obviously the Obama administration didn't take Russia seriously. But July is when this investigation started. It should be done. When is the timetable going to be done? When are we going to start pushing back and saying enough is enough?"

"At what point, when you have no evidence, do you stop an investigation? If you have no evidence, it's time to move on. But we've got to be stronger. We've got to be push harder. And the RNC is doing it, and certainly there are great Republicans out there pushing back as well," added McDaniel.

The country desperately needs results in the ongoing Russia investigation, McDaniel said, and the administration needs this cloud looming over its head removed so it can function effectively and deliver on Trump's campaign promises.

"We need to get the American people an answer. And we need to once and for all say there was no collusion between the Trump administration and the Russians. Because not one person has said there was evidence of collusion," McDaniel said. "The Trump administration is complying 100 percent, but we need to get this done. There needs to be pressure to stop this and move on so that we can get to the business of helping the American people."

While discussing the upcoming June 20 special election for Georgia's 6th House district, the RNC chairwoman said it is "interesting" that the Democrats are portraying the race between Democrat Jon Ossoffand Republican Karen Handel as a judgment onTrump's presidency.

"It's interesting that they're saying this race is a reflection of what's happening nationally. Ossoff is not running away from President Trump. In fact, he's vowing to never raise taxes. He's running more like a moderate Republican. He's not going against the president," McDaniel said. "And so, I don't know how this can be a reflection of national attitudes when the candidate is not even repudiating the president."

"However, it is the highest amount of money coming out-of-state in a congressional district in history," McDaniel said. "And I think the people of Georgia need to really think do they want to elect a fifthcongressperson for California or do they want to elect somebody from Georgia? ...But make no mistake when he comes to Washington, he will be beholden to those donors who are giving him money from California and New York and he'll be beholden to [House Minority Leader Nancy] Pelosi and [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer."

Ultimately, McDaniel said one of the American people's most serious and pressing concerns is Obamacare and the need for health care reform. Although the House passed a repeal and replace effort, the bill has festered as the Senate continues to drag out the process.

"It's still repeal and replace Obamacare. That's what we are hearing the most" from our constituents, McDaniel said. "They look at Washington and they say, 'Why aren't we getting this done?' And I will say, 'We are only five months in.' This is a huge issue. I think the Senate recognizes we have to get this done."

If the Republicans hope to perform well in the 2018 midterms and combat unilateral Democratic obstruction, the RNC chairwoman said they must unite and pass legislation to put points on the board.

"We're going to have to have some accomplishments to run on in 2018. I think it will be the most expensive midterm in history. I will say the RNC is in great financial shape," McDaniel said. "We've got to hold strong and keep these majorities so President Trump can accomplish his agenda."
