Yeah, he could tip the scales in the GOP's favor in the US Senate, but Sheehy sounds like a scumbag.

#7 Sheehy smells and smells bad. If this is what the GOP wants to promote, then the GOP can rot in Hades.

#8 Tim Sheehy must earn the public’s trust (from May 2024)

Men and women presenting themselves as candidates to strengthen and uphold public trust in their elected representatives would do well to remember two things:

First, doing so immediately makes them a “public figure” defined as “someone who has taken on a prominent role in society or has inserted themselves into a public debate in order to influence its outcome” – such as politicians, actual or aspiring.

Second, a good communications adage to follow is, “Maximum disclosure, minimum delay.”

Candidate Tim Sheehy, wanting to be Montana’s next U.S. senator, seems to be having trouble with both....

Sheehy draws a distinction between the “fawning” (his word) news coverage of him and his Bridger Aerospace company before he announced for office and afterwards.

“The press turned against my businesses and has been trying to harm us every single day,” he said in an NBC Montana interview on April 29 that can be viewed on YouTube.

To blame for his difficulties, he named The Washington Post, the Montana Free Press, national online tabloid newspaper The Daily Beast, saying the latter two were not news organizations – at least in his mind.

Clearly uncomfortable in portions of the interview and asked to explain the Glacier Park gunshot incident, Sheehy launched into excessive detail about why his personal judgment outweighed standard operating procedure he was bound as the unit commander to follow.

There are other trust issues.

His “denial” of his paternal grandparents, for example....

There’s another curious situation surrounding the pinning by his new friend and Republican U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke of his Bronze Star Medal with “V” device for valor and his award of the Purple Heart for injuries suffered. Both speak to his heroism in combat; he recently posted online the award certificates and the Bronze Star citation.

His Bronze Star citation for “heroic achievement” is dated June 24, 2014, before he was separated from active duty in Hawaii. By custom, the military conducts such an award ceremony prior to a serviceperson’s separation or departure from a duty station. Sheehy’s resume shows he left Hawaii in October 2014, four months later.

The Purple Heart citation is dated June 5, 2015, when Sheehy was already in business in Belgrade. The citation was for wounds received in action on April 25, 2012, so it obviously was late in its issuance and appropriate for Zinke to present it to Sheehy on Aug. 27, 2015.

But the Bronze Star? Perhaps Lieutenant Sheehy can clear this up by clarifying whether his initial Bronze Star award ceremony was in Hawaii or whether its award was to highlight the Purple Heart – and his entry into Montana politics. Maximum disclosure and minimum delay applies.

And now it is up to the courts to determine the truth behind the breach of contract suit filed by two former employees in April against Sheehy and his brother Matthew.

#9 ^ I'm not a Montanan. The issues you cite are never investigated against a Dem. I question the sources: "The Washington Post, the Montana Free Press, national online tabloid newspaper The Daily Beast". Not reliable sources

#10 Daily Montanan today: Commentary:
Voters opposed to Trump’s Project 2025 playbook

Lies. Heritage Foundation does Project 2025. Not a credible source.

#11 "The issues you cite are never investigated against a Dem."

Oh, that's for sure. But I think if there's smoke, there's fire. Maybe I'm wrong, so we'll see, but my spidey sense doesn't trust Sheehy...seems like a big b.s'er. Time will tell.

#12 @#10 - "The far-right wing extremist group Heritage Foundation spent $22 million to create the 887-page policy book....

"It’s important to know Kevin Roberts, Heritage Foundation’s president, has close affiliations with Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and referred to Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Hungarian dictatorship as “the model” of conservative politics (Newsweek, July 5)."

No, the Daily Montanan is not biased. No, sir-ee.

#14 ^ I just made a snap judgement on them and may be wrong, but Tester is a known Dem plug. He pretends to be independent but votes with Schumer's majority every time

#16 So he is a crook - if more Republicans were crooks, maybe they wouldn't be so easily fooled.
