Uh oh: Top RNC fundraiser quits over "pattern of self-inflicted wounds and missteps"

Fox, a Missouri businessman who was Bush’s ambassador to Belgium, was one of the RNC’s few remaining connections to the deep-pocketed Republican establishment and was viewed as the heaviest hitter among its fundraisers.

But Fox was “deeply troubled by the pattern of self-inflicted wounds and missteps,” another major Republican fundraiser told me today, and had “lost confidence” in Steele.

He was also finding it harder and harder to tap fellow wealthy Republicans for the RNC, the source said.
