I’ve also met Martin Hyde on a couple of occasions, and his conservative credentials far outstrip Vern’s.
well, if that’s true, then he made an incalculably stupid mistake in calling Trump supporters names. Separately, that a candidate has unimpeachable conservative credentials does not mean that he’s going to get any traction. See Mark Sanford. Sanford’s character is terribly off-putting, but he had a lot of supporters here.
And where did you get this information? It's been covered in some of the liberal 'news' here, but where else? If you have more legit sources, I would like to see them. Seriously.
I have spoken to Mr. Hyde, and seen him speak, and what he said then was nothing but supportive of conservatives and the ongoing MAGA movement.
