How should I address this?
Should Washington state Dems be called racist and Republicans progressive in presenting a man of color to the highest office in Washington state this close to elections. In my opinion its a desperate move, but one Dems have successfully used in the past and will continue to use as long we judge the color of man’s skin as a checkmark for elections. So let’s be honest with ourselves…. what do you really want the next 4 to 8 years in state of Washington to look like….
‘Consider every option’: State GOP leader addresses Semi Bird endorsement
The head of the Washington State Republican Party (WSRP) is saying its leadership is looking at the latest allegations their endorsed candidate for governor, Semi Bird, committed fraud by engaging in “stolen valor.”
The U.S. Department of Defense issued a reprimand to Bird, with a commanding officer stating that Bird perpetuated “fraud” against the United States to advance his career.
First reported by Jason Rantz of “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH, the investigation follows accusations by the U.S. Army and two members of the Green Berets that Bird engaged in stolen valor by misrepresenting his actions during a firefight in the Iraq war.
If you have the stomach for it…. here is more
In response to this the Bird campaign released the following:
When we TAKE BACK Washington State, it won’t be because of the fake news media, wealthy elite “donors” or slimy politicians who say they are working for us… it will be solely because of Patriots like you! And it is Patriots like you that I will be listening to as WE turn Washington State back into a beacon of hope for the rest of the Country.
I’m trusting YOU to be the voice for Bird for Governor. We are representing the forgotten men and women left behind by the Washington State uni-party. We represent something much bigger than Semi Bird… we represent accountability and transparency, for all citizens of the great state of Washington! We represent a CHANGE from the endless corruption and mainstream establishment who have taken over across this great Nation. A Nation that I bled for and am happy to battle for, once again, because it means that much to ALL of us.
What we are witnessing with President Trump is lawfare, plain and simple. It is a clear attempt to remove the competition! It is an attempt to silence We the People. You will see and have seen much of this right here in Washington with my campaign. A campaign that I began 18 months ago in an effort to GIVE BACK the voice to the People of Washington. A campaign that walked into the largest state convention in Washington State history, and walked out with a Super-majority 72% Washington State Republican Party endorsement, voted on by over 1800 elected Delegates from every County in the State!
Guys, it is clear to me that the People of Washington are speaking loudly. I want you to know that I hear them… and I hear YOU. Our voices will not be silenced, and our candidates will not be chosen by the political elite and their cronies, they will be determined by YOU! I look forward to this battle more than you know and with YOU by my side, there is nothing that we cannot accomplish. The State of Washington will be ours once again, and the Washington State Primary Election is just around the corner!
