The North Carolina Democratic Party has filed an ethics complaint against Senator Thom Tillis, alleging Tillis was trying to “cash in” on his position on the Senate Judiciary Committee to fundraise for his re-election campaign. The Raleigh News & Observer reports: “The complaint says Tillis violated the law and the Senate Code of Office Conduct ‘by misusing official resources for campaign purposes.’”
Ever since he “flip[ped] like a fish on a dock” on the sham emergency declaration that allowed the White House to raid $80 million from North Carolina military installations, Tillis and Washington Republicans have been turning to increasingly desperate tactics to try to compensate for his nonexistent credibility. Now, in a frantic effort to prop up Tillis, it appears his Washington Republican allies are spending millions of dollars to try to meddle in North Carolina’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary.
