#1 No "chaos", just thr press trying to cover up Cunningham with Tillis having COVID.

COVID is NOT a death sentence, stop the press fearmongering.

#2 Cal Cunningham backs out of town hall as new cheating allegation surfaces
All eyes are on North Carolina Democratic Senate candidate Cal Cunningham after he reportedly pulled out of a town hall event on Monday following the publication of steamy text messages between the candidate and a woman who is not his wife.

Cunningham, a Democrat challenging incumbent Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., "backed out" of a campaign event scheduled for Monday and organizers hope to reschedule, WUNC reported.

The news of Cunningham backing out of the town hall comes hours after another affair allegation against Cunningham surfaced Monday, this time from a woman claiming her friend has been having an affair with Cunningham since 2012.

Cunningham, who is married, apologized on Friday after the website NationalFile.com published steamy text messages between the candidate and a public relations strategist named Arlene Guzman Todd. The allegation that surfaced Monday purports to involve a second woman.

#3 Well, the dems would like to make sex scandals a problem for Republicans only, but the media still likes red meat wherever it comes from some times. If Cunningham had taken up with a trans individual, the press probably would have blacked it out or called anyone bringing attention to it "a hater..."

#6 this is the same guy who put up a 'love BBQ' tweet while

- using a gas grill that seemed to be off
- displaying buns heated in a electric oven
- apparently beginning to BBQ hot dogs and hamburgers

so really, which is worse, sexting (apparently without sex) or pretending to like BBQ without knowing what it is

#7 ^ Actually, his sex life is none of my business, unless he's screwing around with my wife. But faking BBQ, that's poltroon territory...

#8 I am probably wrong about there not being actual sexual activity.

Statements by 'other woman Number 1' implies they did it in Cunningham's own home while his family was away.

#10 So not only "sexting" with one, but an actually bumping nasties at HIS house while the Mrs was gone. This JULY! And the woman threatened to release nudes of the guy.

Cunningham was running on an "Im Andy Griiffith" and just one of the folks wholesome platform. Its dead in the water, but wow are the press really scrambline to excuse him or push onward.

Our press is corrupt. To hell with gutting the government, lets gut the big news companies.
