Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) has no intention of quitting the race even as she grapples with the scandal over the eyebrow-raising stock sales she made in February right after a private Senate briefing on the impending COVID-19 pandemic.
I wonder how yesterday’s revelation of her husband’s million-dollar contribution to the pro-Trump PAC will play with voters.
Loeffler looks a bit like Hope Hicks. Can we call her Hopeless Hicks?
Wait. She can’t be reelected. She was never elected in the first place!!!
She is the perfect example of money in politics; if she was not able to raise money from her wealthy friends, and use plenty of her own, she wouldn’t have been selected for an appointment to fill Isakson’s seat.
Of course not. Why would a criminal that tried to screw the American voter drop out? It’s all somebody else’s fault! So what if she made money, lots and lots of money, from insider trading. It’s the Republican way!
Nothing drives the backlash against unfettered capitalism quite like the characterization of corruptly profiting from one’s public service as “…support[ing] free enterprise.”
Sometimes the only thing you can do while driving a bus that’s on fire is to keep on driving.
That million dollar contribution increasingly looks like a bribe.
This is the result of being in over your head and not realizing that you are literally drowning in a cesspool of your own making.
“I have a lot of money and so I’m allowed to do these things and if you hope to get rich and want to do these things when you get rich, then you’ll vote for me.”
I’m reminded of the Chapelle’s show sketch about the 2 justice systems in America. Powerful white person fraudulently steals millions? Afforded every venue to defend themselves and trot out their supposed persecution in the media.
Where as a black person, one of this Senators’s own constituents, can be hunted down with impunity for jogging by non-cops, who then walk free until there is a national uproar. But let’s not lose sight of the real victim: the rich, now richer, Senator.
Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Collins tops a jumbled field racing to unseat incumbent Kelly Loeffler, who trails her three most prominent Democratic rivals in hypothetical one-on-one contests.
Trump didn’t back Loeffler’s appointment. I wonder how she’ll appease his displeasure to get his endorsement.
Until Mangolini throws you under said bus.
I think her husband’s tried to take care of that . . .
A" Trophy Wife" can do whatever she wants.
I guess she won’t be getting Martha Stewart’s endorsement either.
Nah, it’s just a coincidence.
A Blagojevich, so to speak.
Excellent news… The people of GA should get behind her now… they need to take a stand and show that they fully support the 1%
If someone deserves the title of Mrs. Wall Street is Kelly Loeffler, the wife of the Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange. That Republican voters consider her one of their own must be because of the color of her skin. Kelly Loeffler is gold-digger that happens to be just a more dynamic and outgoing version of Melania Trump.
Years ago I used to know a guy that managed a Sears store. A neighbor of mine. We sort of knew what each was up to as far as projects, yard work and landscaping stuff, plans on room additions or other construction and recreation activities. Like I said, neighbors. Inevitably I’d mention in passing I was contemplating the purchase of a table saw, or roto-tiller, maybe a mower with a bigger deck. He’d volunteer to hold off, as a helluva sale was being announced in a few days on whatever I was talking about, and he’d set one aside in his inventory with my name on it if I liked.
Was that wrong?
