This would be comical if not voting for Democrats was anything other than a de facto vote for Republicans.
A Democratic Senate nominee had to clarify Monday that, contrary to a newly released video of her campaign chairman, she does not actually support “most” of President Barack Obama’s policies.
Natalie Tennant, the West Virginia secretary of state, is running to replace retiring Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV). Her campaign is trying to keep some distance from the Obama, who is deeply unpopular in the state. That’s why her campaign had to scramble after a tracking video surfaced showing her campaign chairman Saturday outside a campaign event appearing to say that Tennant supports “most of (Obama’s) policies,” the Charleston Daily Mail reported.
Tennant’s campaign walked back the comments from Allen Tackett, a retired general of the West Virginia National Guard and the campaign chair.
“The general misspoke. Natalie does not support the majority of the president’s policies,” Jenny Donohue, a Tennant spokesperson, told the Daily Mail Monday
I hope Obama enjoys his last two years in office with a Tea Bag controlled House and Senate.
