HOUSTON, TEXAS: Nepotism allegations have erupted within the Republican Party after Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, was appointed as the new co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), as per RadarOnline.

With the Trump family's history of appointing relatives to influential roles despite a lack of experience, the move has reignited long-standing concerns about nepotism within the former president's orbit. As social media erupts with mockery and criticism, the RNC faces scrutiny over prioritizing loyalty over merit in its leadership ranks.

The backlash intensified after a video of the RNC speaker introducing Lara went viral, with the speaker's remarks being interpreted as an admission of her lack of experience.

"In a world where qualifications are often measured by titles and years of experience, we’re reminded of a truth: God does not call the qualified, he qualifies the called. Lara Trump is the embodiment of this truth," declared the speaker in the now-infamous video.

Lara Trump's rise to power reignites debate of nepotism

Lara's controversial rise to power has reignited the long-standing debate surrounding nepotism within the Trump political sphere. During his presidency, Donald faced criticism for appointing his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner to senior advisory roles, despite their lack of political experience.

Kushner's involvement in Middle East foreign relations and his subsequent $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund after Donald left office further fueled accusations of conflicts of interest and nepotism.
