Republicans in key races scrap online references to Trump, abortion

[wbrocks67]

Of note:

Yesli Vega (VA-07) - no longer mentions Trump in Twitter bio

Barb Kirkmeyer (CO-08) - stopped promoting language defending the “sanctity of life” on her website; now there is no mention of abortion at all

Blake Masters  (AZ-SEN)

Oz, Bognet (PA-08) remove Trump references from Twitter, websites

Tom Barrett (MI-08) - had said on his website he would “protect life from conception.” He replaced it with a section called “Life” that calls him “a consistent pro-life state legislator” and then focuses on Slotkin’s abortion positions,

Hines (NC) - deleted from his website references to being “100% prolife” and “100 % pro-Trump” and a section called “life and family,” as first reported by the 19th, a news organization.

These people are idiots. Dems will pounce on their two faced behavior.
And Oz isn't losing because he was supported by Trump, it's because he's an out of state phony who's out of touch with working people.
I think of the people you listed, only Barret, Kirkmeyer and Bognet are definitely favored. I also thought Barrets response was the least phony

Pretty foolish on Trump but obviously sound policy on abortion.

[Darthpi – Anti-Florida Activist]

Pathetic.

Why? Distancing themselves from Trump is the best thing they could do if they want to appeal to moderates.

I get that their base is stupid, but they really shouldn't be assuming that the rest of us are so quick to forget the GOP, and most of them specifically, have stood for recently with Trump and over fifty years with the goal of ending Roe v. Wade.

That's going to put some of them in an awkward situation when he campaigns in their states and districts though.

I'm thoroughly confused on how Kirkmeyer is seen as a good candidate? She seems barely better than a Generic R.

But I was told Lisa Scheller was titanium strong in PA-07...

These people are brain dead lol! You can't hide from it. If you scrub it, we will have receipts of what your website used to look like and can attack you on it. Now you just look disingenuous and desperate to voters!
