McDaniel Freaks Out Over Cochran’s Black Voters
Some National Republican leaders are cringing after Chris McDaniel followed his loss in the Mississippi GOP Senate primary with complaints about voting “irregularities” because some black Democrats crossed parties and voted for Sen. Thad Cochran. “The more the tea party complains about how black voters vote for Republicans, I think they look racist and stupid,” said GOP consultant John Feehery. “We’re trying to get black voters. Now that one of our candidates got black voters, we should be happy about it.” On election night, McDaniels refused to concede and told a crowd of his supporters, “There is something a bit strange, there is something a bit unusual, about a Republican primary that’s decided by liberal Democrats.”
