Okay, so the Montana Republicans have a right to choose a candidate for the new Montana District Representative for the U.S. House, but why does it have to be "Stinky" Zinke?
He hasn't been a Montana "resident" since he was run out of office in the Trump administration as Interior Secretary.
Zinke likes to tout his fifth-generation Montana roots. On his first day as Interior Secretary in 2017, the ex-Navy Seal famously galloped to work on horseback in blue jeans and a black cowboy hat. This past June, when he kicked off a new congressional campaign, he cruised on the back of a Harley Davidson through some of the state's most picturesque back-drops, from Glacier National Park to Billings, Montana's largest city. His wife, Lolita, documented the tour on Instagram.
Zinke, 59, appears to be the leading Republican candidate. Not in his favor, however, is the fact he has Trump's endorsement and total blessing!
Where the heck does he sleep?
"We really haven't seen him in Montana," said Cora Neumann, a Bozeman Democrat. "It's been almost three years since he resigned from the Interior amid a series of ethics scandals and federal investigations, some of which were referred to the Department of Justice. But in Montana, the most serious question now is about where he lives. It's been long known that he splits his time between Whitefish and Santa Barbara, California, where his wife owns property and a yacht. And over the past several months, Zinke has conspicuously traveled across Montana, frequently posting photos on his new Instagram account. But when I visited the state over the summer, a half-dozen residents of Whitefish and the closest city, Kalispell, told me that, until Zinke launched his most recent campaign, they hadn't seen him around much since he left Washington in late 2018. The most recently available FEC data shows Zinke has received campaign donations - about $181,000, as of July - largely from non-Montanans."
"I think it's pretty obvious when you show up in Montana in March with a really killer tan that you haven't been here for a long time," said Jennifer Fielder, a Republican former State Senator.
Let's not let this non-residing political hack sneak into our new congressional seat through the back door He is just one more of those ethics violators of the Trump fiasco that got away with no fines and no punishment!
He is as corrupt as his buddy Trump.
