Vulnerable Republican Senators are once again being exposed as hypocrites––this time for “posing” as China hawks despite having histories of “cozying up to the country.” A new HuffPost report calls out Senators Steve Daines, Thom Tillis, and Cory Gardner for trying to sell themselves as tough on China in a desperate attempt to save their struggling re-election campaigns. The reality is despite their recent positions, all three vulnerable incumbent Senators had “careers spent encouraging, and sometimes profiting from, investments by U.S. corporations in the country.”
This is just the latest example of “politically endangered” Republican Senators using the NRSC playbook to “attack China” in an attempt to try and shift blame from Trump’s bungled coronavirus response. The reality is they have failed to hold either China or the president accountable.
