Jake Tapper Attempted to Convince GOP’s Sean Parnell to Run in Different District than Against Democrat Conor Lamb
Breitbart ^ | September 6, 2020 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 09/06/2020 6:46:53 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

CNN anchor Jake Tapper tried to convince Republican Sean Parnell to run in a different congressional district than in Pennsylvania’s 17th, where he is currently challenging Democrat Rep. Conor Lamb (D-PA), sources familiar with Tapper’s actions told Breitbart News.

Parnell, a rising GOP star who spoke at the 2020 Republican National Convention (RNC), served as a U.S. Army Ranger Captain in the so-called “Outlaw Platoon” for 485 days on the Afghan-Pakistan border. Lamb won a special election in 2017, the first year of President Donald Trump’s administration, which eventually paved the way for Democrats to retake the House majority in 2018 in the midterm elections. His seat is one of 30 such districts nationwide where Democrats currently sit but that Trump won in 2016. For the GOP to retake the House majority in November, the Republicans need to flip just a net 17 seats — so this district is critical to Democrats remaining in power. It also will, given the intensity of the race between Lamb and Parnell, likely have an impact on the top of the ticket contest between Trump and Democrat presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden.

So Lamb, a former Marine Officer just made shit up and told the Atlantic and that was the “Military Source?” What kind of bullshit is that?

Why would they be afraid to come public. Even John Bolton said if it were true, he would have written a whole chapter on it.

Why would Tapper feel Sean Parnell was open to such a suggestion?

Lamb has always been a lawyer - after law school he completed USMC Officer Candidate School and then joined the JAG with the Marines ... he is a lawyer first and always ...

I certainly hope the news of this makes it to the men in the military. The original lie almost always gets told over and over. When the truth comes out their is little repetition.

“So Lamb, a former Marine Officer”

He’s a democrat, that makes him an
EX-Marine officer.

Just like murtha was an EX-Marine.

Tammy duckshit is an EX-Army officer.

John mccain was EX-Navy, same with kerry.

Anyone who served in the military and runs for office as a democrat has betrayed their oath of service.

I have watched Sean Parnell on Tim Pool’s youtube channel. He was impressive.

So what would be the convincing bit of evidence that this Lamb character would have information regarding any decision the President would make...

As far as I can tell, this is the only district in Western PA that could flip from D to R.

Conor Lamb heard about it from someone who has a friend whose cousin swears that he knows a bartender that overheard a drunk mumbling something about a virtual buddy who thinks it might have happened...maybe.

He probably didn’t have anything.

You know how these democrats make up stories out of whole cloth, then run it through their media lapdogs to lend an “aire of credibility” to it.
