WATCH: Three Top NRCC Recruits in New Hampshire Embrace Trump’s Big Lie

A bombshell report from CNN today revealed that NH-01 candidates Karoline Leavitt, Gail Huff Brown, and Tim Baxter are three of at least twelve “prized recruits” from the NRCC that have embraced Trump’s “big lie” and “sought to undermine the legitimacy of the past elections.”

The dynamic is particularly pronounced in New Hampshire’s first district, which spans the southeast of the state. Republican candidates there have remained steadfast supporters of Trump, who remains the party’s most popular leader.

When asked who she believed won the 2020 election, Leavitt, a former Trump press aide, said, “Donald J. Trump.”

Baxter, a state representative, told CNN, “President Donald J. Trump is right, it’s time for an audit in every state.” Asked who won, Baxter responded, “The candidate who got the most legal votes!”

And Gail Huff Brown, a former TV reporter whose husband, former Sen. Scott Brown, served as Trump’s ambassador to New Zealand, told a local ABC affiliate in September that “there were a lot of irregularities” in 2020 and “Covid won.” 

While this might set off alarm bells for some, it apparently doesn’t bother the NRCC who included Karoline Leavitt, Tim Baxter, and Gail Huff Brown in their “Young Guns” recruit program for candidates that “embody the principles of the House Republican Conference and show promise of running a successful campaign.”

DCCC Spokesperson James Singer:

“Simply put: extremist candidates like Baxter, Leavitt, and Huff Brown who embrace Trump’s big lie that fueled a deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol have no business serving in the halls of Congress. While the NRCC might prop up insurrectionists and election conspiracy theorists, voters in the Granite State will see right through their dangerous lies.”
