You think Rep. French Hill, the plutocrat banker Republican and Trump toady is nervous about Clarke Tucker? He’s already on air with ads attacking Democrats with evil witch Nancy Pelosi as his cutout for Tucker, now the Democratic nominee. No matter that Tucker has said he won’t support Pelosi for continued House leadership.

Get a load of the National Republican Campaign Committee response to Tucker’s runaway victory tonight:

“Tonight’s winner? Nancy Pelosi. Tonight’s loser? Nancy Pelosi’s handpicked candidate Clarke Tucker. He may have won his primary, but as long as Arkansans know that his allegiance lies with Pelosi and the Hollywood elite, he is done for in the General Election. Tucker can say whatever he wants about needing new leadership, but at the end of the day, Nancy Pelosi recruited him and heavily supports his campaign. The NRCC looks forward to French Hill’s reelection.” — NRCC Spokeswoman Maddie Anderson

What a bunch of he-men. Picking on a California woman to try to hold onto an Arkansas House seat for the bankers and billionaires. I think both Pelosi and her non-supporter Tucker are up to the challenge.

From the DCCC:

“Clarke Tucker launched his campaign for Congress after beating cancer and standing up for Arkansans’ ability to get their health care through Arkansas Works. Clarke won his primary by running a strong, grassroots campaign rooted in those values and he is well positioned to be highly competitive in the general election by striking a clear contrast between his record of standing up for affordable health care, and Congressman Hill’s record of standing for Washington’s special interests.” –DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján
