From the November 6, 2022 edition of CNN's State of the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash

RONNA MCDANIEL (GUEST): Nobody should be intimidating or breaking the law. Nobody should. But poll watching is not intimidating. If you’re following the law, we’ve sent out guidance, this isn’t happening from the RNC, we’ve sent out guidance to our poll watchers. I think what a lot of people don’t know is the RNC couldn’t do this for 40 years. We were under a legal order that we couldn’t have poll watchers, and now we can. The Democrats have always had that, I think that’s really imbalanced. But if you’ve been at a poll place you’ll see that they’re just simply observing and it helps us at the end give assurance to the voters.

…

DANA BASH (HOST): What I just described could continue in an aggressive way. As the top Republican in this country right now, your message is --

MCDANIEL: Do not break the law, do not attack or intimidate people who are trying to vote.

BASH: In any way, shape, or form. 

MCDANIEL: I don’t think that should be done at all, also don’t intimidate our poll watchers because we’re having that right now too, where our poll watchers are not being allowed to meaningfully observe, that’s an important part of our democracy.

…

BASH: You’ve been on Steve Bannon’s podcast multiple times and you are asking him to help recruit, and his listeners to help recruit the poll watchers. Is there any concern about using that outlet on this issue when it comes to potential for harassment?

MCDANIEL: No, I’m never telling people to harass.

BASH: No, of course you’re not.

MCDANIEL: No, I would never do that. I’m saying please go sign up.
