Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) is calling both of the recent strange break-in incidents involving supporters of primary challenger state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R-MS) “bizarre.”

Cochran weighed in personally on both the incident involving political blogger “Constitutional Clayton” Kelly going to the nursing home of Cochran’s wife to photograph her for an anti-Cochran video and the more recent incident involving a top McDaniel staffer and two supporters going to the Hinds County Courthouse (located in a county that went for Cochran) after the courthouse was closed. Election ballots are kept there.

“People were in there after midnight and these are people working for him and his candidacy. What in the world were they doing up there?” Cochran said in a video by the Jackson Clarion-Ledger. “And I don’t think anybody knows all of the answers yet or how many people were involved. What were they up to? I’m just raising questions, I don’t have the answers but it sure is bizarre, isn’t it.”

  1. They were committing some form of Voter/Voting/Election Fraud. That “thing” republicants keep claiming is rampant throughout the entire and must be stamped out (by limiting who can vote to only those “we” approve of).

    And it is. it’s being committed by republicants such as these.

  2. He is really laid back on this. I don’t think his heart is in this race to be honest.

    a) Wow, way to take the gloves off. Grr!

    b) Auto-play videos are a great way for TPM to lose viewers.

  4. That’s one thing I really don’t like about TPM. They are constantly pushing the bounds of acceptable web advertising. When I click ‘close’ on an ad, there shouldn’t be an identical copy of the same ad hiding right behind it. Videos should definitely NOT auto-play. Ads on mobile shouldn’t take me out of the web browser to a page on the app store unless I actually click it.

    I know they’re trying to make a living, but it makes the site feel pretty 3rd rate.

  5. Bizarre people with bizarre beliefs create bizarre results. Discuss, discuss
