The polls are indicating that the Republicans will do well in the mid-term Congressional elections. That wouldn’t be unusual–the party opposite from the President always does well in the mid-terms. That trend was the reason President Clinton reversed direction on a number of issues after the first med-term of his presidency. There is a belief in some circles that the Republicans will do really well because the Biden administration has created problems with inflation, energy independence, border security, etc. Does anyone actually believe that the Democrats will sit quietly by and let the Republicans take over?<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, The Epoch Times<\/a> posted an article about a recent undercover tape released by Project Veritas.<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n A South Carolina<\/a> state lawmaker who was on the June 28 ballot in the Democratic\u00a0U.S. Senate primary runoff has been heard in leaked audio strategizing on how to utilize Democratic \u201csleepers\u201d to run as Republicans in local elections, as well as requesting drug money from a state prison inmate.<\/strong><\/p>\n Project Veritas<\/a>, the watchdog organization that obtained the recording<\/a>, confirmed to The Epoch Times that it verified state Rep. Krystle Matthews was the person speaking with Perry Correctional Institution inmate David Solomon Ballard.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhen we get enough of us in there, we can wreak havoc for real from the inside out,\u201d Matthews is heard saying in the recording, dated Feb. 15.<\/strong><\/p>\n Inmate phone calls are recorded, and those making the call are notified by an operator that calls are recorded.<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear what the relationship is between Matthews and Ballard, who in 2018 began a four-year sentence for threatening the life and family of a public official, and a 10-year sentence for resisting arrest and assaulting an officer, with multiple disciplinary actions taken against him since his incarceration. He also has an extensive arrest record.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ballard had been jailed for threatening the life of Aiken County Sheriff Mike Hunt and his family, according to The State<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n While in custody at the Aiken County Department of Public Safety, Ballard then assaulted a State Law Enforcement Division agent.<\/strong><\/p>\n Somehow the expression “You are known by the company you keep” comes to mind.<\/p>\n The article continues:<\/p>\n \u201cWe need some secret sleepers,\u201d she is heard saying. \u201cLike, you need, we need them to run as the other side, even though they for our side, and we need them to win.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe need people to run as Republicans in these local elections.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n …After discussing how sleepers could \u201cchange the dynamics in South Carolina,\u201d Matthews goes on to complain about raising money for her campaign, saying she doesn\u2019t care if she obtains \u201cdope money.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cGimmie that dope boy money,\u201d Matthews says, before telling Ballard to find her someone from his family to donate money to her campaign in their name.<\/strong><\/p>\n Matthews then alluded to types \u201cof black people.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t recognize these black people,\u201d Matthews said, and referred<\/a> to herself as \u201ca [racial slur] at heart.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Matthews also said there needs to be people who can take yard signs down at night while people are sleeping.<\/strong><\/p>\n Somehow at least some of our elected officials have missed (or avoided) the concept of ethics.<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The polls are indicating that the Republicans will do well in the mid-term Congressional elections.
