Dems Flip KY House Seat In District Trump Won By Huge Margin

A Democrat and former public school teacher flipped a Republican-held seat in the Kentucky state House Tuesday in a district where President Donald Trump won by a 72 percent to 23 percent majority.

The Democrat, Linda Belcher, beat GOP challenger Rebecca Johnson, who is the widow of former Rep. Dan Johnson, who took his own life last year after denying molestation allegations made by a 17-year-old girl from a church where he served as pastor.

Belcher easily defeated Rebecca Johnson by a 68 percent to 32 percent margin, according to the Louisville Courier Journal.

Belcher had previously served as the representative for Kentucky’s 49th District for two terms, from 2009 to 2012 and from 2014 to 2017, until Dan Johnson won in 2016, The Huffington Post reported. Belcher first ran for the seat in 2009 as a widow, as well, after her husband Rep. Larry Belcher (D) died in a car crash in 2008.

Belcher’s Tuesday victory marks the 37th state legislative seat that Democrats have picked up since Trump was elected.

Trump Misspells Sessions’ Name In Tweet Urging AG To Investigate Dems

President Donald Trump used one of his favorite tactics to attempt to shift focus away from his campaign and administration: blame the Democrats.

In a Wednesday morning tweet, Trump tried to pin Russian election meddling on the Obama administration by stressing that the meddling took place while Barack Obama was President. Trump urged Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate Obama’s response and “Dem crimes,” though he misspelled Sessions’ name.

Question: If all of the Russian meddling took place during the Obama Administration, right up to January 20th, why aren’t they the subject of the investigation? Why didn’t Obama do something about the meddling? Why aren’t Dem crimes under investigation? Ask Jeff Session!

Trump seems to overlook one large part of the Russia investigation — how Russia went about interfering in the 2016 election and how future meddling could be prevented. Each time a major news story or advancement in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation breaks, Trump focuses solely on the investigation into his campaign. Trump uses every tidbit he can to deny that his campaign colluded with the Russians, ignoring revelations about how Russians went about sowing discord in the U.S. political system.

Recently, when the Justice Department announced the indictment of several Russians for meddling in the 2016 election, Trump focused on the fact that the indictment did not say that Trump campaign aides knowingly worked with the Russians.
