The NRCC’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week

46 days out from Election Day, the NRCC is totally falling apart. In no particular order, a week in review:

• The DCCC more than doubled the NRCC’s fundraising haul in the month of August – “shellacking the NRCC in fundraising.”

• Weeks after applauding North Carolina’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson as an “articulate spokesman” and “exciting candidate,” NRCC Chief Richard Hudson was caught donating $12,800 to the self-proclaimed “black NAZI.”

• NRCC recruit Laurie Buckhout was caught deleting pictures celebrating Mark Robinson and donating over $10,000 to Robinson’s gubernatorial campaign.

• The NRCC touted a new round of ‘top’ recruits on Friday – including two notable anti-Semites.

• The NRCC was caught propping up a 9/11 conspiracy theorist in an ad for their conspiracy theorist candidate in Texas, and their chosen candidate in New Mexico was caught doing the same.

• The NRCC’s “Young Guns” program was lambasted by Mother Jones as, “extremists, conspiracy theory-mongers, underfunded aspirants, and oddball contenders.”

• Sabato’s Crystal Ball shifted five races in favor of Democrats, including CA-45 and WI-03, just weeks after Cook Political Report and Inside Elections shifted six.

DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“This is what losing looks like. ”
