Democratic congressional candidate Dan McCready is withdrawing his concession in the race to represent North Carolina’s 9th District, telling local station WSOC that he believes his opponent, Mark Harris, knew a contractor for his campaign bankrolled “criminal activity.”
That contractor, McCrae Dowless, is accused of orchestrating widespread election fraud in order to help Harris. Absentee ballots in some areas are unusually — and improbably — tilted toward the Republican.

In a video statement posted to his Twitter account Thursday, McCready said: “I didn’t serve overseas in the Marine Corps just to come back home and watch politicians and career criminals attack our democracy. That’s why today I withdraw my concession to Mark Harris, who’s remained completely silent, and I call on Mark Harris to tell us exactly what he knew, and when he knew it.”

I didn’t serve overseas in the Marines to come home to NC and watch a criminal, bankrolled by my opponent, take away people’s very right to vote. Today I withdraw my concession and call on Mark Harris to end his silence and tell us exactly what he knew, and when. pic.twitter.com/2hcT00DVhQ

Nomnomnom… Please pass the popcorn, I’m all out over here…
I think McCready only says he thinks Harris funded criminal activity because Harris funded criminal activity.
I bought two tubs of specialty popcorn kernels. At this rate, I fear that it won’t last to the end of the year.
Clearly a veiled metaphor for “funded criminal activity”.
I’m old enough now not to expect much from religious authorities, but still, he’s a pastor, for Christ’s sake. I suppose it’s not hypocrisy anymore when you’re an Evangelical, because endorsing criminal activities seems to be their vision statement.
Maybe we should start by hanging the 10 commandments in Churches? They seem to need the reminder.
