Here’s what I mean. I’m in Cheri Busto’s district - IL 17. Last time around the Republican challenger was so nutty the state Republican party pulled its support of him.
Why? Because he couldn’t keep his yap shut about stupid InfoWars grade garbage. Believe what you want but these Dem reps in Trump-won districts are not going to automatically lose just because they vote for impeachement.
There has to be a non-crazy Republican alternative.
ROCK ISLAND — Republican party officials are withdrawing support for 17th Congressional District candidate Bill Fawell after reviewing alleged conspiracy theories posted by Fawell on social media.
Fawell, 64, will face U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Moline, in the November general election.
State Republican party chairman Tim Schneider, Rock Island County Republican party central committee chair Drue Mielke, and Republican state central committeeman for the 17th Congressional District, Jan Weber, removed their support of Fawell on Tuesday.
All three officials cite posts on Fawell’s campaign Facebook page, Elect Fawell, in which Fawell appears to support 9/11 conspiracy theories, and called some mass shootings “false flag” events.
GOP’s Esther Joy King will be the next CONGRESSWOMAN for the ILLINOIS 17TH Congressional District. Bye, bye, CHERI BUSTOS.
