Running out the RINOs
By Mac Madden
My state of Mississippi is a very conservative state, but the elected representatives at the state and national level are major RINOs. The people of Mississippi are starting to wake up to that fact. In the primaries held this week, two incumbent Republican congressmen failed to reach the 50% threshold to avoid a runoff. District 3 incumbent Michael Guest obtained only 46.9% of the vote while his top challenger received 47.5%. Meanwhile, District 4 incumbent Steven Palazzo only received 31.6% of the vote while challenger Mike Ezell garnered 25.1% of the vote.
Let’s take a look at our incumbents and challengers. In my District 4, we have been blasted by radio ads about the “conservative” Steven Palazzo. There are Palazzo signs all over the place. In truth, Palazzo is no conservative. His Conservative Review Liberty Score is 63% rating him a “D”. He voted for the $1.5T Omnibus funding Biden’s vaccine mandates and wasteful spending. He voted for the $40B aid package for Ukraine. He voted against the repeal of Authorization of use of Military Force in Iraq. With Palazzo it goes deeper than that. He’s under a House Ethics Investigation for misspending campaign money for personal use. He’s not a noisy representative like Marjorie Taylor Green, so it probably is not a witch hunt. A candidate forum was held in May so that the voters could hear from all of the candidates. He declined at the last minute, citing “meetings dealing with national security.” He then posted a Facebook photo of himself with his son at a restaurant in Starkville. I am sure there was a lively discussion about national security. That’s why they call him “No Show Palazzo.”
