RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A tea party group backed by billionaire conservatives plans to sit out the U.S. Senate race in Virginia.
News outlets report that Americans for Prosperity will not support Republican nominee Corey Stewart as he tries to unseat incumbent Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine.
Americans for Prosperity has been supported by conservative industrialists Charles and David Koch. The group spent heavily to help Stewart’s opponent in the GOP primary earlier this year and was a major spender in last year’s election for governor.
Stewart is an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump who has often targeted fellow Republicans.
So the Koch bros will support traitors,liers,con men and thieves but an overt Nazi is a bridge to far. All righty then.
Hoping for substantial backlash against those rich billionaires trying to dictate elections…
Yeah, all those groups said that same thing about Trump, talking a big talk, and they all gave in within days and bent the knee. I will only believe this news if Election Day goes by and we learn that indeed, they did not support Stewart directly or indirectly at some point, and then I might decide to give them the tiniest modicum of belief in their statements.
Good to know even the flea infested dogs won’t lie down with every beast.
Every damned time some crazed GOP nutjob secures the nomination for a significant office everyone normally expected to back the bid loudly makes noise “Not for this person, here we draw the line, they’re on their own!”
Fast forward to about 30 days before Election Day and everyone is tripping all over themselves to support the candidate.
