Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said the foundation had been weaponized to attack Trump and the Republican Party.
The Republican National Committee agreed to stop selling coins featuring Ronald Reagan’s likeness after the former president’s foundation asked it to stop. The RNC sold the coins in a fundraising effort with President Trump’s reelection campaign.
On July 19, the joint fundraising committee emailed supporters asking for a donation of $45 or more for a set of commemorative coins featuring Trump and Reagan. The coin display case included a photo of the two men shaking hands during a 1987 White House Reception. After learning of the fundraising, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute — which runs the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley— called the RNC last week to demand the committee stop, the“The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute owns the name, image and likeness of President Reagan and [the RNC] used his image for the coin without our consent,” Melissa Giller, the Reagan Foundation’s chief marketing...
. “We called the RNC and asked them to cease and desist the use of President Reagan on the coin and they agreed.”The RNC said its use of the former president’s likeness wasn’t out of bounds, and Republicans regularly use his image for events such as “Reagan Dinners.” “Given that the Reagan Foundation just recently hosted the Trump family to raise money for its organization and has not objected to us using President Reagan’s likeness before, their objection came as a surprise,” RNC communications director Michael Ahrens said. “Even though we believe our use of the image was appropriate, we will stop emailing this fundraising solicitation as a courtesy.”
