RICHMOND — Former congressman Denver Riggleman, a Virginia Republican who ran twice with Donald Trump’s backing but broke with him over the Jan. 6 insurrection, endorsed Vice President Harris for the White House on Sunday.
“I was heartbroken and horrified to see how close we came to losing our democracy on January 6, because of one man — Donald Trump,” Riggleman said in a statement released by Harris’s campaign. “I’ve seen with my own eyes how Trump’s thirst for power, revenge, and retribution is his real motivation, and that’s why I cannot stand by while he tries to destroy our country.”

Bob Good’s district, now also removed.

It’s hard to see how it voted in 2020. Most maps are by county. It says 20% black. Maybe there is a demographic trend there.

Both were rogue Freedom Caucus members.

It could be 20% black and +7-15 R

So because a January 6 dumpster fire occurred, which Trump had little, IF ANYTHING, to do with, Riggleman will support and vote for people who want their political opponents dead.

Got it.

Not hard at all, if you know where to look:

Profile of Congressional District 5, Virginia

It's got all the demographic data and election results anyone could want.

The headline actually (but in subtle fashion) has it right: “EX-GOP”.

This coward is NOT a Republican and hasn’t been one for a couple of years; he ditched the party back in 2022. Even though he had been ousted from Congress by 2021, he was still associated with the J6 Kangaroo Kourt Kommittee as a staffer in a desperate effort to make his intense hatred for Donald Trump pay off.

He is supposedly considering running for Governor of Virginia in 2025, as an Independent for the purpose of taking some GOP votes away from the party’s candidate and ensuring that Deep State bitch Abby Spanbarger (D) wins.

Oh, good grief. What a pearl-clutching drama queen.

It is 20% black and Cook rates it as R+7, so you’re right on the money (R+15 though.... not a chance).

See post 29 for a link to much more data.

“Ousted by far-right, US lawmaker now works with Jewish groups against extremists.”

Any questions?

Thanks-—I looked at a website with results from the previous 4 or so elections, which is enough to make some sort of range but will be weak on the effects of redistricting.

The GOP is full of rat bastards like this one. He and the other rat bastards like him are the reason MAGA should be its own party. The GOP is compromised and not to be trusted.

Riggleman was loudly endorsed by that perverted scumbag Jerry Falwell Jr., the former president of Liberty University and son of Dr. Jerry Falwell, founder of Thomas Road Baptist Church which birthed LU. Falwell Jr. almost destroyed the largest Christian university in the world with his sexual escapades and underhanded financial dealings.

Now that most of the Falwell loyalists have been moved out of the university council, the school is thriving under the leadership of Maj. Gen. Dondi Costin (USAF, ret.), former Air Force Chief of Chaplains and an alumnus of Liberty. Thank God.

“Bigfoot: It’s Complicated’

SUBTITLE: “A Congressman and FORMER INTELLIGENCE OFFICER explores the politics of true believers- Bigfoot and Otherwise”

What a FRUITCAKE— this is yet another moron gubmint employee seeking some kind of a life. And probably- just saying a major raving LEFTIE queer! Iron John drumbeater (and not just a drum) in the woods.
