Exclusive — Trump-Backed Leora Levy: ‘I am Running to Rid Connecticut of the Blumenthal Blight’
Breitbart ^ | 6 Aug 2022 | JORDAN DIXON-HAMILTON

Leora Levy, former President Donald Trump’s choice for U.S. Senate in Connecticut, spoke with Breitbart News about her campaign to “rid Connecticut of the Blumenthal Blight” just days before the state’s Republican Senate primary on Tuesday.

Breitbart News Saturday host Matthew Boyle praised Levy for recently securing former President Donald Trump’s endorsement and asked the Senate hopeful to talk about the importance of the endorsement.

“Well, to be endorsed by President Trump is just such an honor. I am so proud and frankly awed that he believes in me the way many Connecticut Republican voters believe in me,” Levy said. “I am the strongest candidate to go up against Dick Blumenthal and defeat him. I am running to rid Connecticut of the Blumenthal blight.”

“The issues that are driving this election in Connecticut are the same ones that are driving it nationally – high inflation, record high gas prices, rising crime, the invasion at our border, and a very important issue here are parental rights. Parental rights are being assaulted here,” Levy continued.

Levy also revealed that her family fled Cuba when she was a child to escape “Castro’s communism.”

“You know, I was born in Cuba. I came here as a child. We escaped Castro’s communism. My dad started from scratch. We lost everything in two but came with nothing,” Levy said. “I understand how, how lucky I am, how blessed I am to have been able to grow up in the United States of America. And I thank God every morning that I am an American woman, an American citizen who came here legally.”

Levy criticized her primary opponent Themis Klarides for being weak on the Second Amendment and being endorsed by Planned Parenthood. She said that unlike her opponent, who is a “career politician,” she is a “career American.”

“They’ve had enough with the Democrat Party, because Hispanics and Republicans have shared values, faith, family, good education, non-indoctrination, and hard work, the opportunity to succeed and to pass on a better life to your children and make sure your children have that opportunity,” she added.

“That is what’s going to bring the Hispanic voters to the Republican Party in November, and I am the candidate to lead that effort, they will come and vote for all of our candidates on the ballot this year,” Levy said.

She will still lose. Democrat is a religion, not a political party in Connecticut.

One of the primary characteristics of Democrat voters is their blind loyalty to the Democrat brand. They seem unable to connect the current deterioration of our way of life with the Democrat policies that caused it. They combine stupidity with a stubborn willful ignorance of cause and effect. So I agree with you a Republican is unlikely to win in Connecticut. Blumenthal could eat a baby on public television and probably only lose 5% of the Democrat base vote

Mark Simone...a great NYC talk show host...claims that Da Nang Dick is in trouble in CT. I hope that that’s not just wishful thinking.
