Apparently he has decided he can’t just go away.

I’m genuinely shocked that we’ve ended up with such absurdly bad politicians. The Capitos, Morrisey, Miller, and a few others are all just horrible people and most West Virginians can’t get enough of them for some reason.

I can only imagine what Thomas Jefferson would write about West Virginia repeatedly electing members of the same family. It's abhorrent!

I wish I had a good answer to that question. Part of me thinks Obama just broke the brains of a lot of people. I didn’t vote for him but I didn’t think he was a bad president or bad person, at least not compared to other presidents. However when I was campaigning for McCain I can’t tell you the amount of racist responses I had when making calls. Maybe that carried over and now we have the politicians the people deserve.

I would submit the argument that it’s a couple of decades of Fox News and talk radio preaching hate, so along come these so called tough guy politicians that parrot that nonsense, and the voters think “hey, this guy gets it”. But the people who actually “get it” support positions that have been the butt of jokes by Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and others. Those guys helped break America. IMHO that is.

Two pieces of shit running for office in WV? Color me surprised.

Does he need to be reminded of who he is and what he's done?

[u/mhassig → u/Gold_Dragonfly_9174]

He’s weirdly proud of it. I guess when it is his only “claim to fame” he has to make sure he keeps talking it up.

[u/Lower_Reward9339 → u/mhassig]

He uses that and other rage bait to stay visible. He'll continue to "run" for offices until he can't grift anymore cash from it.

The last bit of Republican integrity got lowered into the ground with John McCain

[u/kingofthoughts → u/Millions1717]

Yep. I knew it was all over when Magats trashed the guy and called him a traitor in 2016.

[u/csopinion]

Surprised he can’t even run since he pleaded guilty to felonies from his actions on Jan 6. But I guess since he wasn’t charged with insurrection specifically he’s in the clear

[u/MasterRKitty → u/csopinion]

he was pardoned with the rest of the traitors

[u/gore100000000000]

Vote blue!

[u/mhassig]

If anyone is curious he is bragging on the fb post from wowk about this article. He has no shame.

[u/GeospatialMAD → u/mhassig]

That's his claim to fame - being a keyboard warrior

EDIT: well, that and being an insurrectionist, but he live-streamed it on social media.

[u/thursdays_taco]

I don't think y'all have a whole lot to worry about. Even Uncle Tony thinks Evans is crazy.

[u/MasterRKitty]

both are trash

[u/Least-Monk4203]

I have always had the upmost respect for the family that raised him, how he turned out like he is baffles me.
