The Left knows its ideas are increasingly difficult to sell to everyone who isn’t far-Left, so they’re trying to get “creative.” That’s one word for it…
In New Jersey, some Democrats are trying to rescue their most endangered incumbent (Tom Malinowski of the 7th Congressional District) by getting the ethically-challenged two-termer on the ballot TWICE in November: as the Democrat nominee as well as the nominee of the “Moderate Party.”
Of course, there’s absolutely nothing “moderate” about Malinowski.
We now have confirmation that the forces behind this “Moderate Party” push are decidedly NOT ideologically moderate.
According to a report from Politico-New Jersey, “Sue Altman, executive director of the progressive New Jersey Working Families Alliance, helped organize” the Moderate Party push in NJ-07,” something even Politico acknowledges is viewable “as more evidence that this is really just an effort to help Malinowski under the guise of something grander.”
Altman may be most recognizable to some political observers as the woman who was removed from a November 2019 hearing by state troopers during George Norcross’s testimony.
The new party is chaired by a Republican; it’s now clear – as suspected – that the inclusion of GOP leadership is an attempt to trick voters into thinking this is anything other than what it really is: an attempt by far-Left activists to rescue a far-Left congressman heading into a very tough election cycle for Democrats.
“The involvement of one of New Jersey’s most high-profile progressive activists proves there is nothing ‘moderate’ about Tom Malinowski’s attempt to run from his party and appear on the general ballot twice,” said NRCC Spokeswoman Samantha Bullock reacting to Politico’s piece.
BTW – The Secretary of State rejected the cabal’s first attempt at ballot access setting up a court battle challenging the century-old law banning “fusion voting” in the Garden State. We’ll let you know what happens.
