The RNC needs someone with her real-world experience, tenacity and toughness. Please join me in supporting Harmeet Dhillon for RNC Chairwoman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wow! I\u2019m incredibly honored to have Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus\u2019s support for RNC chair! He is one the most important, loyal and prolific donors to the conservative movement.

Dhillon (@pnjaban) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pnjaban\/status\/1613279756094705668?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 11, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a dispute in our party between grassroots activists who believe that voting early lets the other side know how many votes you have,\u201d Dillon spoke with Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro in an interview. \u201cI think in reality, the Democrats were able to elect virtually unelectable candidates like [Pennsylvania Senator-elect] John Fetterman, like [Arizona Governor-elect] Katie Hobbs, because they knew that no matter what the quality of the candidate was, they were going to get those votes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to do that,\u201d Dhillon said. \u201cAnd as I tell grassroots leaders, our message needs to be until we can elect a legislature and a governor who will sign on to the legislatures\u2019 tightened up voting laws, we must beat the Democrats at their own game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In late December, Marcus, who along with his business partner Arthur Blank built Home Depot into a giant financial success, slammed Americans who don\u2019t want to work.<\/p>\n<p>Marcus, who\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/billionaires\/profiles\/bernard-marcus\/?sref=MTy2GeXk\">Bloomberg<\/a>\u00a0estimates has a net worth of $5.25 billion but has, with his wife, donated over $2 billion to over 500 organizations through their Marcus Foundation, spoke in an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/5680bb94-4fda-4bb5-887a-62ca1b4341fd\">interview<\/a>\u00a0Financial Times<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m worried about capitalism,\u201d Marcus stated. \u201cCapitalism is the basis of Home Depot [and] millions of people have earned this success and had success. I\u2019m talking manufacturers, vendors and distributors and people that work for us [who have been] able to enrich themselves by the journey of Home Depot. That\u2019s the success. That\u2019s why capitalism works.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marcus said that thanks to \u201csocialism,\u201d \u201cnobody works. Nobody gives a damn. \u2018Just give it to me. Send me money. I don\u2019t want to work \u2014 I\u2019m too lazy, I\u2019m too fat, I\u2019m too stupid.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marcus wasn\u2019t worried about any criticism he might elicit about his comments, especially from those he termed \u201cwoke.\u201d He declared, \u201cWe used to have free speech here. We don\u2019t have it. The woke people have taken over the world. You know, I imagine today they can\u2019t attack me. I\u2019m 93. Who gives a crap about Bernie Marcus?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marcus reserved his harsh criticism for people who are wealthy but still sit on their wealth. \u201cToo timid to jump in, these are people who took great risks in whatever they did, but they\u2019re afraid to take this risk [to get] into the charitable world and help other people. Why, I don\u2019t know,\u201d He stated.<\/p>\n<p>Marcus, who supported Trump in the past and donated to Trump as well as Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis&#8217;s campaigns, called President Biden \u201cthe worst president in the history of this country.\u201d He called Trump\u2019s policies \u201cspot on,\u201d but added, \u201cIt\u2019s going to be very interesting in \u201824 because I think that DeSantis will challenge him.
