Carpetbagger alert

May 23, 2017

Joe McConnell, the Democrat who just announced against Republican Kevin Yoder, calls himself an “8th generation Kansan.” But, he has not been registered to vote in Kansas for a decade; since 2008. In fact, McConnell has been living in California just down the road from Nancy Pelosi’s home. He’s even being called a “carpetbagger” by other Democrats.

If McConnell calls himself an 8th generation Kansan, did he even register to vote in Kansas before filing to run? Does he have a Kansas driver’s license?

Seems hypocritical to start your campaign off claiming Kansas ties when you’ve been gone for a decade and just moved back to run for office. Then again, no one ever accused the DCCC and their chosen candidates of consistency.
