RINOs backed by Big Gambling special interest stumble in general election.
Big Gambling-funded RINO candidates who defeated conservatives in primaries lost general elections, costing the GOP seats.Summary
The article reports that a special interest PAC, backed by Big Gambling and spending $700,000 in dark money, intervened in Republican primaries to defeat conservative incumbents. In Senate district 35, the PAC supported former RINO Rep. Kevin Crutchfield, who defeated a true conservative in the primary but then lost the general election to a Democrat by 57% to 42%, costing the GOP a long-held seat. Similarly, in House district 51, the PAC spent heavily to promote liberal RINO Charles M. Taylor over conservative Colonel Sherry Lynn Womack, but Taylor lost the general election to Unaffiliated April Montgomery amid a local scandal involving an illegal gambling parlor. The article concludes that Big Gambling's primary interference cost both conservatives and the GOP seats they should have won.
