Ken Calvert Rushes to “Bend the Knee” to Convicted Felon

Rather than rescind his support of Donald Trump after he was convicted on 34 felony counts, Ken Calvert is instead undermining the rule of law and rallying to the former president’s defense.

Calvert’s blind loyalty to the first former U.S. President ever convicted of a felony is wildly out of step with the Inland Empire, and his choice to abandon Californians to defend Trump – particularly after fundraising less than and polling below his Democratic challenger – will cost him in November.

DCCC Spokesperson Dan Gottlieb:
“Ken Calvert is all too eager to attack an independent jury of Americans just to serve his convicted felon, wannabe dictator party boss. Unfortunately, Calvert continues to ignore the Inland Empire’s best interests as long as it serves himself and appeases Trump.”
