Rep. Todd Rokita (R-IN) is closing his heated primary race for the right to face Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN) with an attack on Special Counsel Robert Mueller — and a promise to end his “witch hunt” into President Trump.
The congressman’s newest TV ad ahead — and possibly his final spot ahead of the May 8 primary — lumps together Mueller, Donnelly and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and argues Rokita is the only one who will truly defend Trump.
“Mueller, Pelosi, Donnelly. They’re using fake news to destroy our president. Who’s tough enough to stop the witch hunt?” the ad’s narrator says before knocking Rokita’s primary rivals, painting Rep. Luke Messer (R-IN) as a “Never Trumper” and pointing out businessman Mike Braun (R) is a former Democrat.
The three candidates have been vying hard for the Trumpier-than-thou mantle in the race, much like Republicans in other hotly contested primaries, and Rokita even donned a MAGA hat in an earlier spot. But this may be the first time in the 2018 cycle that a candidate has explicitly asked for GOP voters’ support in order to halt the investigation into whether Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia. Keep an eye out for whether that becomes a theme in GOP primaries going forward.
Most Indiana Republicans think Braun is the favorite to win next week’s primary, but think Rokita has a chance to catch him.
Todd Rokita: The Obstruction of Justice Candidate, and Proud of It!
“Hier stehe ich. Ich kann nicht anders.”
Say whatever you want about people like Donnelly et al. but in those crazylands those Democrats are still the best possible outcomes we could possibly get. I mean, there may be lots of votes from them we completely disagree with, but we at least gotta have human beings with a minimum level of sanity and functioning brain.
Putinbot traitorous deplorables are not an option.
Which one of the Three Stooges was the smartest, again?
The pro-Russian mob candidate.
