WaEx: Michael Flynn, the former White House national security adviser once caught in the middle of the Russia investigation, endorsed Republican Rep. Doug Collins in his Senate race a gainst incumbent GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler.
“America and the citizens of Georgia need the ‘forged by fire’ leadership of Doug Collins in the United States Senate,” Flynn told Fox News on Tuesday. “As the deep state attacked our very way of life, Doug Collins was willing to stand in the breach, shoulder to shoulder with our president, Donald J. Trump.”
Flynn has become a celebrity of sorts for supporters of President Trump and those deeply critical of the criminal investigation into Trump’s supposed ties to the Russian government. In 2017, Flynn pleaded guilty for lying to FBI investigators about his conversations with a Russian envoy.
Flynn has since claimed he was innocent, and subsequent files released about the FBI’s investigation into him have raised questions about the government’s conduct in the case.
“When the deep state came after me and President Trump, very few Republicans were willing to stand with us. Doug Collins was one of them,” Flynn said. “He is never afraid to tell it how it is, and he will always fight for what’s right against the radical Left.” read more
Loeffler came out early with dirty adds and lies. She is part of the swamp that does not need to be in political office.
Back in 2008 I met Doug Collins in Balad Iraq where he was serving as a military chaplain. He has what I wish all of Georgia’s elected official had but don’t, integrity.
I voted a straight Republican ticket and Doug Collins. I did not realize so many people were running for that seat. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mamomma – I agree. Though I am not in your district, or even in your state, it is amazing to see the entire list of people from fringe groups who run for god-like powers.
I applaud you for voting straight party lines. I have had that discussion with others. Even if your party does not put up a good candidate, we still have to remember that the legislature and lesser posts still will tend to go with their official party suggestions. We know that anyone else will tend to go with the opposition.
I have not kept track of the times that I have held my nose and voted for someone like a Cory Gardner because he is still much better than the (D) opponent.
