VIRGINIA: McCarthy-Tied Fund Bails Out Establishment GOP Pick Jen Kiggans After Lackluster Fundraising
nationalfile.com ^ | 1/7/22 | Frankie Stockes

Despite Kiggans’ left-wing voting record, which has been reported on previously by National File, and her campaign’s disappointing fundraising numbers going into 2022, CLF President Dan Conston says that Kiggans and the other candidates his group has endorsed as “Trailblazers” have “exactly what it takes” to win in 2022.

“We need 5 seats to take back the House Majority and these trailblazers are the first that will get the job done,” Conston said in a statement announcing the endorsements. “Each of these 11 candidates have demonstrated they have exactly what it takes to earn the trust of voters and win in November.”

The 2nd District’s GOP primary, which will be held this June, is setting up to be a battle between the establishment-backed “moderate” agenda of Jen Kiggans and the America First platform of Jarome Bell, her fellow primary front runner.

While Kiggans has been endorsed by the McCarthy-tied CLF and Elise Stefanik’s Elevate PAC, which exclusively endorses female candidates, Bell has the backing of America First and election integrity icons, boasting an endorsement from General Michael Flynn, as well as nods from Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers and Congressman Paul Gosar. Kiggans has promised to support McCarthy for Speaker and did nothing to challenge suspected fraud in Virginia’s 2020 Election.

Her primary opponent, 27-year Navy veteran Jarome Bell, says he will support a Freedom Caucus Representative for Speaker and has been one of Virginia’s loudest voices for election integrity, even filing suit against Facebook for alleged election meddling and anti-Christian discrimination.

If we keep these seats we (meaning the uni-party) can keep the house under control.

When are we going to see the headline:

Kamala Harris Tied Fund Bails Out Rioters, looters, vandals, and arsonists.

Every time I hear of Congressman Kevin McCarthy, I think about his mentally retarded hand signals.

They’ll never learn. Nor do they want to. For if they did learn, the gravy train stops and they actually do for the people, not their donors and themselves.

One can only dream of what it would be like if Congressional Republican’s even cared half of what President Trump did.

They’ve already had that headline, when she was doing it last year. No one cares. And she was honest about it, surprisingly.

McCarthy-tied CLF and Elise Stefanik’s Elevate PAC .......... Everything the world needs to know about Stefanik and her fraudulent MAGA mantra. She’s as bad as Maliotakis.

When you have said “McCarthy” you have said all you need to say. There are two Rat parties in DC, the DemocRrats and the RepublicRats. If there are any Republicans left, maybe they will show themselves before the next elections. BIG maybe.

I think of Kevin McCarthy from California as one big douche bag.

He will stand up and say I am conservative as I need to be to get the nod for Speaker.

This piece is completely ignorant of the facts on the ground here in VA. The VA supreme court just approved and promulgated the redistricting for 2022. For the congressional districts south of Woodbridge and east of the Blue Ridge, ~50% of the area has changed districts. This means the rural, traditionally Republican areas have changed and local fundraising efforts can now kick into high gear.

BTW, the 2nd VA district is now projected to be 4-pts more Republican. Say bye to CDR Luria.

I know the cliche is “dance with the one that brung ya” - but I sure hope that when the Republicans take the House - they choose someone other than McCarthy. He is a poor communicator and not much of a strategic thinker. Newt is too old, but someone like Newt is what is needed. It might be time to look outside the House of Representatives for the Speaker.

I agree. He has no intellect. All he can do is regurgitate talking points.

Gaetz has the intellect but I doubt he has the guts to go for the leadership.

Nunes is gone, Bratt is gone, slim pickings are what’s left.

They don't currently have this one. Virginia 2nd Congressional is held by a Democrat.
