Trump Backed GOP Challenger Joe Kent: Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and GOP Establishment Spent $4.5 Million on Smear Campaign to Defeat Him in Last 12 Days of Election
The Gateway Pundit ^ | August 6, 2022 | Jim Hoft

Challenger Joe Kent is now within striking distance of winning the primary in the Washington State primary election against Never-Trumper Jaime Herrera Beutler.

Joe Kent clawed his way back into the race after Tuesday’s vote and is only 257 votes down in the latest count.

According to pollster Richard Baris, Joe Kent is assured to be the winner. There are 35,000 votes left to count from election day. Kent is predicted to win a vast majority of those votes.

Saturday morning on The War Room, Joe Kent told Steve Bannon that Kevin McCarthy and the GOP establishment ran $4.5 million in dirty ads against him in the last two weeks of the race.

Joe Kent: $45.5 million just in the last 12 days. A couple million before that… McCarthy directly gave her at least gave her $150,000 during the entire course of the election. That’s just going directly from his PAC going into her PAC. And from all the other GOP establishment PACs probably another $2.5 million right there.

Steve Bannon: Were the GOP establishment PACs, were those the ones doing the really nasty personal attacks on you?

Joe Kent: Absolutely, And they’re already starting to crop up going against Anthony Sabatini in Florida, as well.

I hope these flaming idjit gits realize that all this does is make me exponentially MORE determined to support Trump.

Did they spend it on election rigging? Because that was the sole reason for his “loss.”

It’s like the 25 cent tax on a pack of cigarettes to pay for health care and education in Calif. You deed people to do what’s bad for them to pay for what’s good.

The GOP is much more worried about Donald Trump than they are about any Democrat.

Change starts at the grass roots and local level within the GOP. Bottom up is the only way to change the system because those at the top of the RNC pyramid laugh at us as they stand on our shoulders.

It’s been that way for a long time. It’s just out in the open now.

If Trump supporters are relying on McCarthy to clean up the swamp, they are on a fool’s errand. That’s why it has to be either Trump or DeSantis for the majority leader. All the others are swampy, lazy, weak, corrupt, and lack the hutzpah to get the job done.

This primary season is the most difficult step. Several RINOs have been taken out. They will be weaker in 2 years when we have another go at them. Then we can take more RINOs out. Meanwhile keep taking over caucuses at the precinct level. We must drive the RINOs out.

“President Trump is no longer under any delusions about the crooked establishment...”

I agree. Just think of everything Trump has learned, and been told of, since being temporarily sidelined.

*******

I personally wish Trump would find a mid 60s individual and
back him to the tilt to be elected. That way we could have
an eight year president. I personally don't like to see mid
70s or above elected. Brain function, stamina, etc begin to
wane in many people.

I think unfortunately McCarthy will be speaker for the next couple years. We need to focus on bagging several more RINOs next time. Then maybe we can push him out in 2024.

Do you see it waning in Trump? I sure don’t.

That said, he needs to start assembling his team now. Who will be his AG, and the other cabinet posts, he needs people he can trust and will have his back. He cannot wait until the election to do this.

Unreal. She’s all in for Ukraine, voted to impeach Trump, voted for the January 6 commission, and the GOP supports her. Against a true American patriot. I’ll just say it, we need fewer women in government.

Good way of saying it, Trump is the RINO. And the republican party does not represent conservatives. You nailed it. Trump is indeed a RINO. The party attacked him for all it was worth. They despise the very thought of calling him Republican.

Cannot fault that observation. Dammit..,

AMEN! The few decent women in government (Boebert, Greene, Palin) are BADLY outnumbered by the leftist/communist loons (Pelosi, Feinstein, Waters, Collins, Murkowski, Cortez, Omar, Pressley, etc.)
