GOP Group Attacks House Conservatives
Tuesday, March 3, 2015A political group with close ties to the House Republican leadership just launched new TV ads attacking three conservative congressmen for refusing to fund President Obama’s illegal executive amnesty.
American Action Network launched TV ads yesterday accusing U.S. Representatives Jim Bridenstine (R-OK), Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), and Jim Jordan(R-OH) of threatening our national security.
The ads are part of a $400,000 campaign to pressure lawmakers to pass a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) bill that funds the president’s amnesty, and it’s a way to soften them up for a future primary challenge.
The ads feature terrorists and claim “some in Washington are willing to put our security at risk by jeopardizing critical security funding. That’s the wrong message to send to our enemies.”
You can watch the spot attacking Tim Huelskamp here.
American Action Network is a pro-amnesty group that is controlled by the GOP establishment. Its board includes, among others, Mike Shields, the former Chief of Staff to RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, and Barry Jackson, the former Chief of Staff to House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH).
This is a direct attack on three constitutional conservatives by the GOP establishment to punish them for opposing House leadership.
Jim Bridenstine has as 95% Liberty Score™ from Conservative Review and Tim Huelskamp and Jim Jordan both have 92% scores.
We think it’s important for conservatives to stand with these leaders during this time. They need to know they’re not in this fight alone, and they need help to defend themselves against future primary challengers.
So, for the next week, we will be collecting donations for them.
If you want to support them, we’ve created a secure website where you can donate directly to their congressional campaigns with one, easy transaction.
SCF will pay all processing fees so 100% of your contributions go directly to their campaigns to help them defend themselves from these outrageous attacks.
We are not endorsing these congressmen for re-election at this time. Instead, we’re endorsing their decision to oppose funding for the president’s illegal amnesty and we’re working to defend them from liberals in their own party.
The Republican establishment used race-bating attacks to smear conservatives in Mississippi last year and now they’re using bogus attacks to make House conservatives look weak on terrorism.
This cannot stand.
These lawmakers are fighting to stop the president’s lawlessness and secure our nation’s borders to protect us from future terrorist attacks.
Furthermore, the strategy to use the DHS bill to defund amnesty was created by GOP leaders. Their allies should not be attacking conservatives for sticking to it.
Together, we can grow the number of principled leaders in Congress who will honor their oath of office and support and defend the Constitution.
