Schulz calls out Democrats for bolstering her GOP opponent
Washington Post via MSN ^ | July 1, 2022 | Jenna Portnoy, Ovetta Wiggins

Kelly M. Schulz accused a Democratic group of backing a Republican “fringe candidate” endorsed by former president Donald Trump in the tight GOP primary, a move that could improve a Democrat’s chances of winning the general election.......

“The math is easy. Spend a million now and save $5 million by not having to face me in the general election,” Schulz said in Annapolis on Thursday, flanked by supporters, including Hogan. She called Cox a “lying, conspiracy theorist … who is a danger to our party and our state.”

The allegation yielded a swift response from Trump, who has meddled in Republican primaries across the country as more-moderate members of the party work to fend off Trump-endorsed candidates......

“They know their candidate is losing, and losing big!,” Trump said in a statement, in which in called Hogan a “RINO” (Republican In Name Only) and Schulz a “Never Trumper.” “The last thing Radical Left Democrats want is a real fighter in Maryland, or any other great state, and that’s Dan Cox all the way.”......

“You are lying,” Cox said in a statement directed at Schulz on Thursday. “Are you colluding with the Left to smear our campaign just like Hillary Clinton did to Donald Trump with her fake Russia dossier smear?”......

The 30-second TV ad, paid for by the DGA, emphasizes Cox’s connection to Trump, and his opposition to abortion and gun control .

A DGA spokesman declined to say why the group paid for the ad, but called Cox a front-runner. Despite lagging far behind in fundraising, Cox is in a statistical dead heat with Schulz among decided Republican primary voters, although nearly half of those voters remain undecided, according to recent polling from Goucher College.

I’ve seen 2 ads from her that basically tell me nothing. A pretty face, that’s all.

And if she if flanked by Lockdown Larry, that is reason enough to vote for the other candidate.

I got the following email this morning:

Hearing RINO Larry Hogan has tried to come to the rescue of his fellow “Never Trumper,” Kelly Schulz. They say the Democrats want to face Dan Cox in the general election, when the opposite is true. It is just more Democrat disinformation. They want weak RINO Schulz, who is endorsed by the Amazon Washington Post. The Schulz campaign is coming up with last minute smears because they know their candidate is losing, and losing big! Schulz even got a “tip” on what the Democrat Governor Association is doing (Collusion?). It’s all phony games. The last thing Radical Left Democrats want is a real fighter in Maryland, or any other great state, and that’s Dan Cox all the way. Dan is the MAGA candidate who will save Maryland from the lunatics trying to destroy our borders, destroy our economy, destroy our energy, and destroy our schools. Primary day is July 19th, vote for Dan Cox, and his fantastic running mate, Gordana Schifanelli, who both have my Complete and Total Endorsement. They will never let you down!

Yep.

Dan Cox is one of very few Republicans who stood up to Hogan and his fascistic policies.

That’s my entire criteria this year. What did you do to protect the Constitutional rights of the people during the covid lockdowns.

Dan Cox has my entire endorsement.

I guess the DGA thinks that Cox is another Todd Akin.

“Maryland Republicans say the ad is part of a national strategy to elect far-right Republicans who will be easier for Democrats to defeat in November.”

We’ll, that much is true.

Schulz and Hogan hate him. What a ringing endorsement for Dan Cox.
