As other Republican elected officials scramble to at least create the appearance of distance between themselves and Donald Trump after his disgusting and reprehensible comments about women became public, Jeff Denham has said nothing. Remember that Trump has said dozens of disqualifying things, so it is long past too late for this Central Valley Republican to separate himself from Trump in the eyes of voters.
But if Jeff Denham can’t even manage a statement of denouncement after Trump’s truly offensive comments about women, Denham’s character is fatally flawed.
“Even some of the most ardent apologists for Donald Trump have managed to issue a mealy-mouthed condemnation of his most recent odious comments, but millionaire Jeff Denham can’t even muster that,” said Barb Solish of the DCCC. “If Central Valley voters were still waiting for clarity on the lengths he would go to in his attempt to maintain party power over the betterment of our country, Denham’s silence should remove all doubt.”
