Walter Cunningham, the US astronaut who was the last surviving member of NASA's Apollo 7 mission, has died aged 90. The Iowa native was lunar module pilot on the Apollo 7 mission in 1968, the first successful crewed flight of NASA's Apollo programme. Mr Cunningham was one of three astronauts aboard Apollo 7, an 11-day spaceflight that paved the way for the first moon landing less than a year later. NASA confirmed his death but did not include its cause, although a family statement said he died in hospital 'from complications of a fall, after a full and complete life'....

MSNBC legal analyst Brittany Packnett Cunningham said Thursday on “The ReidOut” that the slogan Make America Great Again reflected a desire to return to “days when you could lynch or murder black folks.” While discussing a proposed Missouri self-defense law, host Joy Reid said, “As expected, Mark McCloskey, who is running for the open Missouri Senate seat, praised the bill. Because it means that he essentially, and his wife, could have been in their slippers and shoot every single Black Lives Matter person that walked by, legally, and they would not even be detained.” AD Packnett Cunningham said, “Joy, I’m...

Sam "Bam" Cunningham, a member of the New England Patriots Hall of Fame and a legendary college player at USC, has died at age 71. USC announced Cunningham passed away Tuesday in Inglewood, California. The cause of death is still pending. Cunningham was the 11th overall pick of the 1973 NFL draft and went on to play nine seasons with the club, and remains the Patriots' all-time leading rusher with 5,453 yards. After rushing for a career-high 1,015 yards in 1977, Cunningham earned a Pro Bowl nod in 1978 as part of a rushing attack that set an NFL record...

Chuck Schumer says Democrats didn't take the Senate because sex-scandal hit North Carolina candidate Cal Cunningham 'couldn't keep his zipper up'

Chuck Schumer, according to a Tuesday report, told Democrat donors that the fact North Carolina loser Cal Cunningham ‘couldn’t keep his zipper up’ ruined the party’s chances of winning back a majority in the Senate. A source familiar with conversations between the Senate Minority leader and party donors told Axios that Schumer used the ‘zipper’ comment on several calls. He also shared with donors that he regrets successfully recruiting Cunningham to run against incumbent North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis, who was considered one of the Republicans most in jeopardy of losing his seat. Cunningham ran a closer-than-expected race last month...

National File ^ | Nov 10 | Tom Pappert
On Tuesday afternoon, a full week after the election, The Decision Desk HQ has called North Carolina for President Donald Trump and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), showing a sound defeat for Tillis’ well-funded Democratic challenger, Cal Cunningham, who National File exposed for having an extramarital affair with the wife of a U.S. Army veteran who apparently became suicidal after learning his wife was cheating him. Decision Desk HQ officially projects that President Trump and Tillis will be the winners of the North Carolina elections, despite the vote having frozen at 94% reported on November 3 and remained almost constant until...

South Carolina state Rep. Nancy Mace (R) is projected to unseat Rep. Joe Cunningham (D-S.C.) in the state’s 1st Congressional District. The Associated Press called the race at 2:04 a.m. EST. Mace’s victory returns the district to GOP control after Cunningham became the first Democrat since 1981 to win it in 2018. Numerous national Republicans endorsed her bid, including President Trump, second lady Karen Pence and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who also served as U.N. ambassador under Trump. Mace, who was elected to the state legislature in a 2018 special election, was the first woman to graduate from...

As I wrote last week, embattled Senate nominee Cal Cunningham has been getting brutalized by the North Carolina political media down the homestretch of his Senate campaign, something you rarely see happen to Democrats here in NC. Here we are a week later, and things haven’t gotten any better on that front for the married father of two who back in September looked like he might have a lock on the race against his Republican opponent Sen. Thom Tillis. In fact, they’ve gotten worse when you watch what reporters have to say about their continued attempts to contact him in...

With just days until the general election, North Carolina Senate candidate Cal Cunningham (D) still declined to substantially address the multiple allegations, which come with tangible proof, about his extramarital affairs. Cunningham took responsibility for the first adulterous affair that became public knowledge, but as more claims surfaced, he has since dodged questions on his conduct. When asked by WRAL about allegations of a second affair during a campaign event on Thursday, Cunningham declined to comment further but did not deny the additional affair. Reporter: "In terms of the report of a second affair. Can you comment on that at...

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) - With one week until the election, polling shows North Carolina’s closely watched Senate race tightening. In early October, the RealClearPolitics average of polling in the race showed Democrat Cal Cunningham leading incumbent Sen. Thom Tillis (R) by five to six percentage points. That’s dropped to 1.8 points on average in the final days of the campaign. “There has been an erosion in Cunningham’s numbers,” said Dr. Andrew Taylor, political analyst at N.C. State University. “It’s hard to attribute it to much other than the scandal surrounding Cunningham.” Control of the U.S. Senate could hinge on which...

The race for the South Carolina first congressional district is far more competitive than Democrats would have you believe. In fact, according to new polling released on Monday morning by Republican challenger Nancy Mace – she has taken the lead in her battle to unseat first-term Democrat Joe Cunningham. According to a Monday morning news release from Mace’s campaign, the second-term state representative from Daniel Island, S.C. is drawing the support of 47 percent of likely first district voters in her bid to reclaim this Lowcountry coastal district – which was held by the GOP for nearly four decades prior...

Republicans are dinging Democratic Senate candidates for participating in fundraising events with North Carolina candidate Cal Cunningham after he admitted to an extramarital affair earlier this month. Online invites show that Cunningham was part of joint fundraising events on Oct. 8 and Oct. 11 with fellow Democrats including Georgia candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, Maine candidate Sara Gideon and Montana candidate Gov. Steve Bullock. "It's despicable that Jon Ossoff raised tens of thousands of dollars with Cal Cunningham, who is now facing accusations of whether he used campaign funds for the benefit of his extramarital relationship with the wife...

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper appeared to call Senate candidate Cal Cunningham's scandal "frustrating," but predicted his campaign would "get across the line" during a conversation with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden that was caught on a hot mic on Monday. "Thanks for coming out, you didn't have to do this," Biden told Cooper, a Democrat. News of Cunningham's inappropriate behavior emerged in early October, when conservative website National File published texts between Cunningham and California woman Arlene Guzman Todd that were sexual in nature. His campaign confirmed the texts earlier this month. Since then, Cunningham's campaign has tried to...

Cal Cunningham is now the first North Carolina Democrat Senate candidate in 22 years not to receive the Charlotte Observer’s endorsement. The Charlotte Observer and the Raleigh News & Observer on Saturday declined to endorse Cunningham. This makes Cunningham the first North Carolina Democrat Senate candidate to not receive an endorsement from the Charlotte Observer since John Edwards in 1998. In a joint editorial, both outlets wrote that they planned on endorsing Cunningham; however, his lack of transparency and refusal to answer questions from the North Carolina press led the papers to reconsider. The papers wrote: His [Cunningham’s] lack of...

Greensboro ^ | 10/18/20 | Gerry Broome
**SNIP** Given my experience, I find Cunningham’s conduct offensive in four dimensions. One is legal - he violated Article 133 of the UCMJ by sending sexual text messages to a woman who is not his wife. If he had sex with the woman, he possibly violated Article 134’s prohibition against adultery. Two, his misconduct set a poor example for juniors. Officers are held to a higher standard than enlisted members and are expected to lead enlisted and officer subordinates by example. Officership is so important the UCMJ has one article, Article 133, that applies only to officers: conduct unbecoming an...

New York Magazine ^ | October 2020 | Ben Jacobs
Less than two weeks ago, Democrat Cal Cunningham was the front-runner in the Senate race in North Carolina. A former state senator, a current lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserves, and an elder in the Presbyterian Church, the Democrat had been running a belligerently bland campaign against first-term Republican incumbent Thom Tillis. Cunningham filled the airwaves with gauzy television ads and consistently led in polls. Then his sexts were leaked to a right-wing website.
