A bombshell report from CNN today revealed that Jake Evans is one of at least twelve “prized recruits” from the NRCC that has embraced Trump’s “big lie” and “sought to undermine the legitimacy of the past elections.”
As CNN reported, “In Georgia, Evans’ campaign website notes that as an election lawyer he ‘fought for the counting of only legal votes during President Trump’s re-election in Pennsylvania all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court,’ which rejected hearing the dispute over the state’s decision to extend the deadline for mailed-in ballots.”
While this might set off alarm bells for some, it apparently doesn’t bother the NRCC, who included Jake Evans 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.”
“Simply put: Extremist candidates like Jake Evans 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,” said DCCC spokesperson Monica Robinson. “While the NRCC might prop up insurrectionists and election conspiracy theorists, Georgians will see right through their dangerous lies.” |
