Mike Flynn: GOP Establishment Fighting to Quash My Conservative Candidacy

Speaking to Breitbart News Sunday, Big Government founding editor Mike Flynn, a conservative activist running for the seat vacated by Aaron Shock, recounted the ways the central Illinois GOP is trying to quash his candidacy.

Flynn says that, instead of making robocalls which can be recorded, supporters of his primary opponent Darin LaHood are conducting live calls and telling voters in the deeply conservative district that Flynn is a liberal Republican.

“They’re saying I support amnesty, that I support banning hand guns,” said Flynn. “They’re not even testing the truth — they’re just outright lying, wholesale.”

The amnesty charge is remarkable, considering that Flynn did extensive work with investigative reporter Matthew Boyle to expose the Gang of Eight immigration bill as an attempt to give Obama his “legacy.” Flynn reaffirmed on the radio that American must close the border, verify it’s closed, and then and only then begin to tackle what progressives and establishment Republicans call “immigration reform.”

LaHood’s supporters in the GOP establishment are also inventing groups out of the whole cloth to damn Flynn with praise.

I don’t know why the GOP and DC Elites fight so had against conservative
candidates.

They end up corrupting most of them anyway.

That’s a big problem with Democrats. They lie. And Lie and lie.

I haven’t received a call from the lahood campaign yet. Probably because there’s no phone attached to my land line. :)

But now that I know this is going on, gives me some ideas.

Peace,

SR
