There have been numerous allegations that a “Tea Party” candidate is running a false-flag operation in Nevada to get Harry Reid reelected. Here’s a CNN report:
Some are accusing Jon Scott Ashjian, a new Tea Party candidate running for U.S. Senate, of being a fake. The allegation? He was put in the race by agents of Senate Majority leader Harry Reid to siphon votes from the GOP.
“No doubt about it”, says Danny Tarkanian, one of the many Republican senate candidates hoping to challenge Reid in November. “Nobody in the Tea Party knows who he is. He didn’t know any of the principles of the Tea Party,” Tarkanian tells CNN….
Sue Lowden, the Republican front-runner in the Senate primary according to recent polls, is the former Nevada Republican Party chair and seems to be the Republicans’ best hope of unseating Harry Reid in November. Or at least she did, until Ashjian got into the race. Lowden says she’s been very active with Tea Party group in Nevada. “I am a Tea Party voter, absolutely.” Which is why she tells us she finds it “a little strange” that Ashjian is emerging now….
Is Ashjian a plant or just a lone wolf? Does it matter?
This should be a lesson to the Tea Party activists as to the damage a third-party effort can do where there already is a candidate in the race who represents Tea Party values.
Splintering the opposition is the best way for Democrats to survive the November elections and continue the reign of error. Don’t hand it to them on a silver platter.
