"SNIP......

“Tom Kean Jr., a New Jersey Republican locked in the state’s most competitive congressional race, has refused to debate his primary opponents,” the New York Times reports.

“He has avoided talking to most reporters. And he has dodged questions about whether he agrees with the Republican National Committee’s characterization of the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol as ‘legitimate political discourse.'”

“Mr. Kean, the scion of a storied political family, has adopted what appears to be a core strategy as he tries to avoid alienating moderate swing voters while facing challengers from the right: to keep his mouth, basically, shut.”

The district was sacrificed for other districts -

But I'm in with the Good Tom in the 7th.

We also have images of him palling around with known white supremacists, and let's not forget -

His dad is the very reason we had the Consent Decree as a part of the Voting Rights Act (no longer in place).

Like father like son - one dirt bag taint wart begets another.
