Never Trumpers Comprise Tennessee’s Manny Sethi’s Entire Senior Campaign Staff
Nusfeed.com ^ | 7/23/20

Dr. Manny Sethi, a candidate for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate in Tennessee, decided to surround himself with Never Trumpers, including his campaign manager who believes President Donald Trump is a “divisive, short-fingered vulgarian.”

Sethi has presented himself as a “conservative outsider” in the race against the Trump-backed Bill Hagerty, but all the people he has brought into every senior role in his campaign are devout Never Trump political consultants.

His campaign manager Forrest Barnwell-Hagemeyer, for instance, is a former staffer to former Ohio Gov. John Kasich—a Never Trumper expected to endorse 2020 presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden. Kasich is so far in for Biden that he is expected to abandon the Republican Party altogether to speak at the Democrat National Convention (DNC), or whatever semblance of a DNC there is, to try to oust Trump. On his Facebook page, Barnwell-Hagemeyer still has a photograph of him wearing a Kasich shirt from April 5, 2016, when the former Ohio governor was trying to stop Trump from winning the GOP nomination.

A couple weeks before that Kasich shirt photo, Barnwell-Hagemeyer in a now-deleted March 23, 2016, Facebook post, attacked then-candidate Trump while hyping a speech then-House Speaker Paul Ryan made attempting to distance Republicans from the man who would become president.

Agreed. Neither Hagerty nor Sethi inspire any confidence among conservatives.

“May the least bad man win“

Sad, but true.

I agree, there is no point in whining about who didn’t run. There are 2 viable candidates. One of them is going to be a US Senator. If I lived in TN I’d vote for Sethi. He MIGHT be an establishment jerk but there doesn’t seem to be doubt that Hagerty is.

Hagerty is “claiming” to be the candidate. He never had the credentials, despite his appointment and endorsement by Pres. Trump. His history is all establishment.

As I mentioned, I had high hopes Rep. Mark Green would jump in, and was saddened when he didn’t.

I don’t think Hagerty or his people realize how much his attack ads are backfiring on him. As I said this morning, he needs to step up and debate and make the allegations against Dr. Sethi face-to-face. He doesn’t want to do that.
