NRCC Upgrades Tea Partier Rebecca Negron to Avoid the Trump of FL-18
Mark Freeman, the top fundraiser in the FL18 contest, proudly became Florida’s Donald Trump when he spewed racially offensive comments. As Republicans on the national level scramble to distance themselves from the actual Donald, the NRCC is trying to do the same thing in this district by elevating Tea Partier Rebecca Negron on their Young Guns List. The problem is, they simply dumped a racially insensitive candidate for a hard-core Tea Partier who is equally out of touch with the district. Let’s take a look at her record:
- Supports a Fair Tax but failed to state if plan would be revenue neutral
- Supports getting rid of the Department of Education
- Say she would not vote to raise debt limit
“To avoid the Donald Trump of FL-18, Mark Freeman, National Republicans have thrown their support behind the equally reckless Rebecca Negron, who said she would rather send the country into economic chaos before voting to raise the debt limit,” said Jermaine House of DCCC. “ It’s shocking that even before entering Congress, she has already promised that she won’t make good on the full faith and credit of the United States government, which would have disastrous results on the economy.”
