IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Last night, MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show detailed the pattern of scandals, biographical lies, and damaging vulnerabilities that have recently emerged about Republican Senate recruits in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Montana, Michigan, and Arizona.
You can watch the full MSNBC segment here.
On Eric Hovde in Wisconsin: “He lives in Laguna Beach, California, where indeed his bank is named a co-defendant in a nursing home elder abuse lawsuit. And he is running for Senate in Wisconsin, where 18% of the population is over the age of 65. He’s running there by saying repeatedly that people in nursing homes shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”
On David McCormick in Pennsylvania: “Here’s the AP headline on the Republicans’ U.S. Senate candidate in Pennsylvania: David McCormick is gearing up for a Senate run in Pennsylvania, but he lives in Connecticut. That seems bad.”
On Tim Sheehy in Montana: “Republicans have decided to run someone…in Montana, who is a person from Minnesota, who grew up in the suburbs of St. Paul. Since he has been running against Jon Tester, though, he has made a big deal of saying that he grew up near farmland. Turns out there was maybe farmland near the multimillion-dollar lake house he grew up in, in suburban St. Paul.”
On Mike Rogers in Michigan: “Cue the headlines out of Michigan: Michigan Republican candidate caught living in Florida.”
On Kari Lake in Arizona: “Kari Lake is the Republican Party’s best idea of who they should run for the United States Senate seat…she wants individual sheriffs in Arizona to start enforcing the state’s 1864 abortion ban.”
