Horowitz didn’t do a very good job of research.
Justice was a Republican prior to running for governor back in 2015. He was GOP only switched to Rat to run for governor. See the newspaper article.
All in all, Justice hasn’t been a bad governor. I attribute 50% of his success to a Republican legislature that got more Republican every year. He switched back to GOP right after Trump won. He claims to be pals with Trump. Both are resort owners so maybe so. (Justice owns the Greenbriar.) I am convinced he was a COVID fascist because he has all the high comorbidity factors for having a serious case. If Trump was leveraged on COVID due to being a germophobe double so with Justice. My problem with Justice is the fact he was very unethical in his business practices. He would often stiff contractors and such for payment of services particularly if the payment was a balloon payment. His mines were routinely hit with fines which he would routinely fight in court rather than just pay. When the mine is the only major employer in the town or county in WV & Kentucky, state governments were reluctant to shut it down.
Because of all of that I was shocked he actually won back in 2015. Because of his past health issues a lot of people are surprised he’s running for the Senate.
I’ll be voting for Mooney, but I am annoyed that I will be voting for a professional politician, which Mooney obviously is. Came here because he couldn’t have much of a political career in Maryland. Yes, he’s a carpetbagger! I voted for him over McKinley because McKinley went ‘native’ in DC. Forgot who his constituents were, he thought it was the Beltway! I think Justice will win, so I’ll be voting for him over Manchin if Manchin indeed runs.
I do agree with Horowitz on this being another example where Trump backs a ‘pal’ over a conservative.
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
.
I am suspicious of all the love for Manchin.
Repeal the 17th Amendment!That way you won't have to bother with your convoluted explanations for your decisions.
You'd rather have a state legislator appoint their good ol boy/sockpuppet without you bothering with decisions.
What were you saying about Trump?I do agree with Horowitz on this being another example where Trump backs a ‘pal’ over a conservative.
Your wish for repealing the 17th would do exactly that.
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
Who's the fool hypocrite in this picture?
