no comment

The same day Paul Davis released an ad promising to oppose Nancy Pelosi, he was forced to confront reality: Pelosi has raised nearly $91 million for the DCCC,  which is propping up his campaign.

Davis has desperately tried to distance himself from Pelosi, but when he was asked about Pelosi’s fundraising that he’s benefited from, he said…nothing.

Per CNN:

But Davis is a part of the DCCC’s “red-to-blue” program, races for seats identified by the party committee that could flip from Republican control to the Democrats, and the committee is poised to spend on the airwaves in that race to defeat Republican Lynn Jenkins. About one-third of the 67 candidates in the red-to-blue program have said they wouldn’t vote for Pelosi for speaker; a total of 35 Democratic candidates who have won their primaries have said they would not vote for Pelosi as speaker, according to a CNN tally.

The Davis campaign didn’t respond to a request for comment about Pelosi’s fundraising.

This proves what we already know: Davis’s rhetoric is pure lip service. He’s happy to denounce Pelosi’s leadership, but not her money. This is the sort of career politician tactic Kansas voters can see right through.
