RNC spokesman Jahan Wilcox deletes tweet calling Matt Bevin a 'fraud'

Jahan Wilcox is the RNC’s new director of rapid response who describes himself as “A Proud Soft R Who Enjoys Crushing Liberal Democrats.”

Tonight, clearly in a good mood, he celebrated House Speaker John Boehner’s primary victory over Tea Party challenger J.D. Winteregg:

Later, Wilcox tweeted an attack on Kentucky Senate GOP candidate Matt Bevin, who is running against Sen. Mitch McConnell:

He deleted the tweet within an hour, but (as Twitchy readers know) that trick never works.

I think it's clear that @jahanwilcox shows us what the GOP establishment says about conservatives behind our backs. Donate accordingly.

"Hey my guy just won! My first instinct is to attack a sizeable portion of our party including voters my employers will need!" @jahanwilcox

Team GOP ladies and gentlemen. RT @jmsummers: RNC spox. RT @jahanwilcox: Next up is that fraud @MattBevin! #GOP

But, hey, it’s only his personal opinion:

Just to clarify to everyone tweets are my own personal opinions.

So why delete the tweet?
