An editorial by Calvin Moore, Deputy Communications Director for the Congressional Leadership Fund

In an interview with Your Central Valley this weekend, TJ admitted – on camera… to a reporter – that his shady business dealings are “absolutely going to be the centerstone” of his 2020 re-election.
While we’re happy to celebrate that TJ has finally moved on from “denial” to “acceptance” in the 5 stages of grieving that his poor choices are totally sinking his re-election chances, voters are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. As a reminder, here are the 397,496 ways Shady TJ has gotten himself in trouble recently…
- Refusing to pay his taxes
- Conflicts of interests over his ties to a foreign mining company
- Discriminating against disabled children
- Shady financial practices
- Having his non-profit shut down by the California AG
- Ethics complaints about lying on his personal financial disclosure
- Getting evicted from one of his businesses
And honestly, I probably forgot to include a few.
“TJ Cox is absolutely right: his countless ethical problems are going to be the ‘centerstone’ of why voters send him packing in 2020.”
I don’t know much about TJ Cox but I do recognize typical political spinning when I see it. Wonder what was “actually said” in the interview and then “taken out of context”…..because that is the way political gaming is played. Wonder what’s in Calvin’s closet?
I will never understand why the voters of that district dumped Mr. Valadao. Cox had and has no interest whatever in anyone or anything but Cox.
Maybe they decided that the tax cuts for billionaires that produced trillion dollar fiscal deficits are bad policy.
As for me, I can’t believe that Devin Nunes’ constituents decided to keep the klown.
Devin Do Nothing has had Tulare residents under some sort of spell. The only time his name makes the news is when he’s protecting president. Can’t remember the last time he made headlines for the valley.
