Mike Penceâs chief of staff  Nick Ayers  on Tuesday pushed wealthy donors to unite against Republicans in Congress who oppose Donald Trumpâs agenda  advising them to âpurgeâ the small contingent of GOP leaders impeding the implementation of the presidentâs campaign promises.
According to an audio recording of the event obtained by Politico   Ayers  departed from Mike Penceâs generally conciliatory public tone at a closed-door Republican National Committee event at the St. Regis Hotel in Washington  and urged a more aggressive funding strategy.
âJust imagine the possibilities of what can happen if our entire party unifies behind him?â  Ayers  told donors. âIf â and this sounds crass â we can purge the handful of people who continue to work to defeat him.â
 Ayers  warned donors that unless they pull funding from anti-Trump Republican leaders and threaten to recruit primary candidates to challenge them  the Republican party will be âon track to get shellackedâ in the 2018 midterm elections. While  Ayers  was pessimistic about the GOPâs ability to pass comprehensive tax reform  he maintained that going into the elections without having passed at least one major legislative goal would be a âsuicide mission.â
