Democratic Party slams own Senate candidate as GOP plant after Trump support revealed
Raw Story ^ | 3/31/26 | Alexander Willis

Posted on 03/31/2026 5:30:12 AM PDT by cotton1706

The Nebraska Democratic Party denounced a Democratic candidate for Senate recently that they allege to be a “Republican Party plant,” CNN reported Monday, with the candidate being exposed for having supported President Donald Trump, opposed access to reproductive health care and attended a GOP-sponsored training event. Forbes spoke with CNN for its report Monday, in which he admitted that he had voted for Trump “in multiple elections” and had attended a GOP-backed leadership summit as recently as January. Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb also provided CNN with screenshots from a now-deleted Facebook page that she said show Forbes attending anti-abortion events. “William Forbes is not running to serve Nebraskans. He is running to trick voters,” said the Nebraska Democratic Party in a statement issued earlier this month. “Forbes wants to ban all access to abortion – an extreme position that makes life more dangerous for women and babies. Forbes is using the Democratic ballot line to deceive voters who deserve better." Forbes denied being a GOP plant when pressed by CNN, and told the outlet that the reason he decided to run as a Democrat was because he “saw that there wasn’t any Democrat on the ticket.” He also defended having attended a GOP-backed training event. “I’m trying to get information from everybody,” Forbes told CNN. “They want clones and I’m not a clone. I think for myself. I’m a free thinker.” After digging through past remarks of Forbes, CNN found that the Democratic Senate candidate had attacked the “left-wing media” and “radical feminism” during sermons, and slammed former President Joe Biden as “dementia Joe.” Forbes also “grew frustrated” with CNN’s line of questioning, the outlet reported. “You’ve asked me who I voted for three times,” Forbes told CNN.

War with Islam. Not if, but when.
War with the Democrat Party, not if, but when.
Hmmm, perhaps we could......

The left infiltrated everything.

Time for MAGA to do it to them. The paranoia will hasten the cannibalism.

They don’t get caught until after the election. We got caught in no time. We need to get a bit smarter.

The left are always yammering about how the Republican Party and the Democrat Party switch support regarding Jim Crow laws, voting rights act and such. Well, this is how it looks. The switch never happened. The Dems have always been a racist party from the get go.

Maybe President Trump should start endorsing more notable democrats running for office.

At the very least the TDS would be hilarious.

If nobody else is running he will win the democrat primary.

If he’s running against Deb Fischer in the general I might vote for him.

It's different when the commies do it.

If there are RINO’s, why can’t there be DINO’s?

So the far-left commie RATS have guaranteed themselves a stolen mid-term election and the ignorant “americans” allowed them to do it.

What is great about that idea is that he absolutely will. Imagine Fetterman asking for his endorsement!

Go ahead. Cut your nose off to spite your face. You do realize what the Democrats are planning to do to us if they win? Even a stink RINO is better than that. Unless you want them to get their revenge on us. Is that what you’re about with this?

The “Georgia office” she is running for is some pissant local office (not even state legislature) in the most ghetto district in ghetto Fulton County.

You can relax, there’s no need to fear Heynard winning, because the Democrat will easily prevail. No other Republican even bothered to file for this lost cause.

“We just got saddled with Utah Senator John Curtis.”

He ain’t the only one:

If Light Loafers Lindsey wins the *open* GOP primary in SC, it won’t be because conservatives voted for him. It will be because two other guys split the right-wing vote while crossover Democrats and RINOs (of which there are TONS in SC) pulled the courageous warmonger across the finish line.

They’re going to have to do it TWICE, because it’s very likely that the primary goes to a runoff in late June. It’s be Graham vs. someone much more conservative, but we pretty much already know how that is going to turn out.

It would help if that poster even knew who was running on the GOP side. It’s not Deb Fischer, it’s Pete Ricketts.

Yes, both are anything but conservative but they are at least team players and are nowhere near as odious as McConnell, Murkowski, Curtis, Tillis, etc.

This is how Linda always survives. In fact, all of the most notorious rino’s survive by vote splitting in the primaries. The GOPe will often put a pretender or two to split the vote.

This is true.

We’re told that we must always unite behind the RINO in a *general* election because to do otherwise means electing a Democrat who is even worse than the RINO.

(Just like RINOs often DO NOT unite behind a conservative, when that conservative has slayed a RINO in the primary — they’d rather a Democrat win than a conservative.)

We’re told that the primary election is the place to slug it out within the party — which then promptly puts all of its resources ($$$$$) behind the RINO (think “John Cornyn”), slanders the conservative to ensure that he is mortally wounded if he does happen to win (think “Ken Paxton”) and if that isn’t sufficient then they resort to putting some “paper conservatives” on the ballot to fragment the right-wing vote.

Still we’re told that it’s a fair fight and we must always support the eventual winner — as long as that winner is not a conservative because conservatives “can’t win!” in November. The RINOs see to that too.

Because they are called COMMUNISTS.
