One of the defeated GOP primary candidates from Tuesday didn’t take her loss very well.

Angela McGlowan, a Fox News commentator who sought the Republican nomination to run against Blue Dog Democratic Rep. Travis Childers in Mississippi’s First District, came in a very distant third place. State Sen. Alan Nunnelee won with 52%, avoiding a runoff, followed by former Eupora Mayor Henry Ross at 33% and McGlowan with 15%.

The Tupelo Daily Journal reported primary night that McGlowan had this to say about Nunnelee: “Right now it looks like Alan is going to take the nomination. I will vote for Alan, but I will not endorse him, because he’s a RINO Republican, and he has raised folks’ taxes, and I think he would run amok in Washington, D.C., the same as any other incumbent politician.” McGlowan’s campaign office has not returned our request for comment, to see if she stands by that statement.
