New Hampshire GOP chooses Senate candidate with history of racist comments




By Josh Israel -September 9, 2020 11:37 AM

Corky Messner has also been a staunch defender of Trump's botched pandemic response.

New Hampshire Republicans selected Bryant "Corky" Messner, a "lifelong conservative" with a history of racist statements, as their nominee for Senate on Tuesday.

With the majority of precincts reporting, Messner, a vocal defender of Donald Trump and his botched pandemic response, is the projected winner of the Republican Senate primary, with a 50.5% to 42.5% margin over retired Army Brig. Gen. Don Bolduc.

During his primary campaign, Messner made multiple offensive comments about race.

In May, he demanded anti-Chinese discrimination in higher education. "We also have to, I think, not allow Chinese students to attend American universities, because they come here and they become educated, and they go back with our intellectual property," he said during a virtual town hall. "The United States can no longer be the research and development arm for the Chinese Communist Party. It’s just not acceptable."
