For proof that Comstock is spooked over Clinton’s selection of Kaine as her running mate, consider that the day after his selection, career political operative Comstock reached back into her opposition researcher books, in search of a distraction, and released more false information on LuAnn Bennett.
“It’s great news for Virginia Democrats, and bad news for Barbara Comstock that Hillary Clinton selected Tim Kaine to be her running mate,” said Jermaine House of the DCCC. “As evidence of this, Barbara Comstock quickly released yet another false attack against LuAnn Bennett, in a desperate attempt to distract from Trump’s toxic impact on her ticket, which is compacted by Tim Kaine’s huge popularity among Virginians across the state.”
