Recent polls showing that President Trump and Joe Biden are neck and neck in the usually deep blue state of Virginia have infused even more importance into Tuesday’s Virginia United States Senate GOP Primary. Multiple candidates will seek the GOP nomination for the Virginia United States Senate race. However, two candidates have broken away from the pack: Trump-backed Hung Cao, and the establishment-supported Scott Parkinson. Sadly, Parkinson has been desperately attempting to sell a lie to Virginia GOP voters that he “supports” President Trump. Parkinson’s record proves otherwise. Following Alvin Bragg’s indictment of President Trump, Parkinson posted that candidates should “focus on other issues.” It gets worse as Parkinson is the Vice President of Government Affairs for Club for Growth, an organization that spent millions against President Trump in the Iowa Caucus. Parkinson’s publications with Club for Growth also criticized President Trump’s America First tariffs. As Virginia becomes more important in November’s election, Virginia GOP voters must ensure President Trump’s pick, Hung Cao, wins Tuesday.
On March 30th, 2023, following the announcement that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg would be indicting President Trump, making Trump the first United States President in history to face criminal charges, Parkinson referred to the event as a distraction and called on GOP presidential candidates to focus on other issues. Parkinson’s statement is horrific considering that President Trump’s New York City trial was overseen by highly conflicted Judge Merchan, whose daughter Loren’s firm, Authentic Campaigns, “works” for top Democrat campaigns like Biden’s and Hakeem Jeffries’. Laura Loomer was the first to report on this.
Parkinson’s statement read, “Instead, candidates must refocus on the real kitchen table conversations happening across America & present the American People with a plan to rescue the Middle Class from Bidenflation, increase public safety in our communities, & restore parents’ rights in the classroom.”
Parkinson’s statement following Trump’s New York City indictment should be no surprise, as Parkinson is the Vice President of Government Affairs for Club for Growth. FEC records show that the Club for Growth spent millions against President Trump in the Iowa Caucus.
During Trump’s first term, Parkinson and the Club for Growth worked with Never Trump U.S. Senators Pat Toomey, Ben Sasse, and Democrat United States Senators Mark Warner and Maggie Hassan to limit President Trump’s trade authority. This is highly concerning as Trump has recently floated the idea of using tariffs to replace the federal income tax.
Parkinson’s anti-Trump Club for Growth article read, “We applaud Senators Toomey (R-PA), Warner (D-VA), Sasse (R-NE), and Hassan (D-NH) along with Representatives Gallagher (R-WI), Kind (D-WI), LaHood (R-IL), and Panetta (D-CA) for their bipartisan leadership on this important issue. We strongly urge all Members of Congress to cosponsor the “Congressional Trade Authority Act” and work toward its swift enactment.”
In comparison, President Trump has endorsed Hung Cao, posting, “Hung Cao is a highly respected retired Navy Captain running to represent the Great People of Virginia in the United States Senate. A Combat Veteran and Highly Decorated Special Operations Officer, Hung Cao will be a tireless fighter to stop Inflation, grow our Economy, secure our Border, strongly support our Incredible Military/Vets, and defend our always under siege Second Amendment. Hung Cao has my Complete and Total Endorsement – HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN, AND WE WILL, AT THE SAME TIME, GET RID OF THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY, CROOKED JOE BIDEN!”
With Virginia in play for November’s election, President Trump must have a Virginia down-ballot ticket stacked with his picks. Virginia voters must deliver President Trump a massive victory on Tuesday.
