Montana GOP Senate Candidate Tim Sheehy Slams Democrat Jon Tester as ‘New York’s Third Senator’
Breitbart News reports "Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Montana Tim Sheehy ripped Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) as “New York’s third senator” and contended that America “needs a new generation of leaders” during his appearance on Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Saturday.
Sheehy, a Navy SEAL combat veteran who has secured many impressive endorsements from prominent Republicans since his campaign launch last month, seeks to secure the Republican nomination and challenge Tester in the general election.
The stakes of the Montana race are high for Senate Republicans. Whoever secures the nomination will have a chance to unseat the vulnerable three-term Democrat, providing a crucial pick-up opportunity for the GOP in their quest for a majority in the next Senate.
Sheehy called the opportunity a “turning point” while speaking with Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle.
“We have New York’s third Senator here in John Tester and, you know, his voting record and his policy positions are in lockstep with the… Democrat Party, no question about it,” Sheehy said. “And you know, Chuck Schumer is very shrewd and has given him opportunities over the years whenever there’s a vote that’s frankly a bygone conclusion, they’ll throw it across the aisle so Tester can vote for it and say, ‘I’m a moderate,’ but the reality is, you know, he’s loyally in lockstep with Biden and Schumer and has been for a long time. He’s been in… elected office for almost 25 years.”
In the last Senate, Tester was an ardent supporter of President Joe Biden’s agenda, voting in line with it 91 percent of the time, FiveThirtyEight notes.
Sheehy contended that it is time to usher in a fresh generation to replace aging career politicians who lose “touch” with everyday Americans after decades in Washington, DC.
“You know, we’ve had the same eighty-year-old guys running this country for 30 years, and obviously, we’re facing some serious problems,” he said. “We need a new generation of leaders. It’s time for our generation, you and me, it’s time for our generation to step up and say, ‘Hey, you know, we need to step in, step into the arena and take charge of our country.’ And a lot of that comes down to just common sense.”
“I live in the real world. I run a business. I have a young family. I’ve worn the uniform and in combat, and I’m telling you guys who’ve been in this building way too long, you know, ‘You’re smelling your own crap,'” he went on to add. “We need to get fresh blood in there to start solving these problems, and John Tester is emblematic of that. He’s been there way, way too long. And you know, once they’ve been in elected office that long, they lose touch with what it means every single day to get things done as an American.”"
