Democrats are hoping to make gains in Republican-leaning congressional districts by running moderates with biographies that appeal to center-right voters including veterans, gun owners, and football players, and in doing so have distanced themselves from the far-left of the Democratic Party. Yet despite packaging themselves as reasonable centrists, Democrats running in Texas and Kentucky are teaming up with a motivational speaker who has a history of hostile rhetoric and negative views of middle America.
Retired Lt. Col. Amy McGrath and former Tennessee Titans linebacker Colin Allred are running in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District and Texas’ 32nd District, respectively. Both candidates have been campaigning as centrists, and neither have endorsed extreme positions like, for example, abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But despite their carefully crafted images, they have been working with far-left-wing activist and motivational speaker Laura Gassner Otting.
According to her website, Otting is a professional motivational speaker who “helps innovators, idealists, and critics get ‘unstuck’ in their thinking.” Before becoming a motivational speaker, she was a political appointee for the Bill Clinton White House and then worked for several nonprofits.

More from the tolerant ones.
I am NOT a Bible voter. I vote the constitution. And those who promise to uphold it AS WRITTEN.
these people make me sick!!!
Keep talking, Toots.
The Left simply cannot express itself without profanity. It says a lot about them.
I am sure she somehow just forgot to add that to her F*** list.
Wow-There’s a sure way to get support and money
"The Modern Left Is a Movement by and for People Incapable of Doing a Proper Job at Honest Work."
I respect McGrath’s service, do not respect what she stands for or the party she belongs to. I believe most in Kentucky, outside of pockets within Fayette County, feel the same way and will keep Barr in office.
What should one expect from the Godless left who all worship at the altar of abortion?
Oh she’ll motivate people alright. Motivate them to vote for the Republicans.
What does she look like. We must establish guilt.
The Republican candidates in these swing districts must challenge their “centrist” opponents. Did any one of them have the courage to speak out against the vile spectacle engineered by the Democratic Party to destroy the life, career and family of a fine decent, Christian man. They all remained silent. They all acquiesced to character assassination. They all demonstrated that they will be docile and take orders from the hard left.
Another hateful little socialist. Must be Tuesday.
They’re gonna need a bigger boat!
Or Wednesday, or Thursday, or Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday, or Monday...
“with biographies that appeal to center-right voters including veterans, gun owners, and football players”
Can you guys in these districts PLEASE STOP falling for this $^#@?
I no longer care if you’ve been in a war, can shoot a gun, or like to read the Bible and play football.
You run with those people, you can fork right on off.
Beto and this femi-leftist freak running against John Carter.
Centrists my ass.
