Priebus sees ‘a little bit of truth’ in Manafort’s comments

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus said on Sunday he thinks there’s some truth to what Donald Trump’s convention manager, Paul Manafort, said about the GOP presidential front-runner playing a “part.”

“I think there’s a little bit of truth at every, at every angle here,” he said in response to a question on ABC’s “This Week” about who the real Trump is.

“And I also think that Paul Manafort and people like Rick Wiley understand that being presidential and being at 30,000 feet is something that’s going to be really important in the home stretch.”

Priebus added that he thinks being presidential is important.

“So, yes, we think that tone matters and being presidential, it does matter. And I get the sense that they get that,” he said.

“But we’ll wait and see.”
