Wingnut Tea Party Jerk Renee Ellmers Loses Primary, Calls Woman Fat, Like You Do

So Long Farewell Auf Weidersehen Goodbye

Wingnut Tea Party Jerk Renee Ellmers Loses Primary, Calls Woman Fat, Like You Do

But...but...I need my paycheck!

Aww, it’s time to play the sad-goodbye music for North Carolina wingnut Rep. Renee Ellmers, who won the distinction Tuesday of being the very first GOP incumbent in 2016 to get primaried right out of Congress. Oh, yes, she was also the first congressional candidate to get an official endorsement from Donald Trump this year, although NBC says Ellmers “was viewed as an underdog long before Trump’s involvement in the race,” so that’s something Trump can feel better about. This election is all about Donald Trump’s feelings, right?



Like any good wingnut, Ellmers was loudly pro-gun, although a few nattering nabobs of negativism chided her for not doing Gun Safety so good in 2013, when she reported the theft of her son’s AR-15 from the garage of their home. He’d left it in their unlocked garage after a session of target shooting. But hey, they own a gun safe — they left the semiautomatic rifle leaning up against it and went into the house, and then some clever bad person stole it.

I need my paycheck. That’s the bottom line … I understand that there may be some other members who are deferring their paychecks, and I think that’s admirable. I’m not in that position.

...is because her constituents felt that she wasn't conservative enough.

Two of the things that they held against her were voting for the budget deal, and helping the delay on the vote in 2015 on the bill that would have made abortion after 20 weeks illegal.
