First, Nikki Haley gave Ralph Norman money.
Now there’s this:
5th District congressional candidate Ralph Norman got a big boost Thursday, winning the endorsement of former U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-Greenville.

DeMint, the former head of the Heritage Foundation and a Tea Party icon, said Norman “has a proven record of fighting for conservative principles” and would help “drain the swamp” in Washington.
“His conservative voting record shows that he will stand up for taxpayers against the special interests, and fight for personal freedom, lower taxes and a smaller government.”
DeMint’s endorsement comes as a new poll from the Trafalgar Group shows Norman and his GOP runoff opponent, House Speaker Pro Tempore Tommy Pope, R-York, in a virtual tie, heading into Tuesday’s election….
Yikes. Remember that Jim DeMint was most recently in the news for getting canned by the Heritage Foundation for being too Trumpy for the taste of some GOP board members, although there are disputes about the “why.”
I dunno. I just remember Jim as the GOP’s voice in the wilderness crying, The problem with us that we’re just not right-wing enough!
Which, you know, was not cool…

Archie Parnell has the best commercials by far.
Given what he emphasizes in his commericials, he isn’t a good choice either. But when both Wilson and DeMint endorse a guy–absolutely not.
You mean, in this one?
It’s another of those from that genre that says, “Y’all are a bunch of angry morons, so that’s the way I’m going to talk to you…”
Yep.
