Congressional candidate reportedly lied about meeting with Trump
Former Mitt Romney aide Patrick Witt reportedly is not telling the truth about meeting with President Trump.
Georgia 10th Congressional District candidate Patrick Witt is failing in the polls and is reportedly not telling the truth about his connections to the popular President Donald Trump.
The Georgia Record reported:
We also have information Witt lives in Dunwoody, GA, not in the 10th district.
A December poll showed Witt with statistically zero support in the jurisdiction. The leader is Mike Collins who is polling above 25% in the primary contest. Paul Broun is second at 10%.
Voters should also be aware Witt has an arrest record. He reportedly also had to withdraw from a Rhodes Scholorship application due to a sexual harassment allegation.
While Witt has made claims that he has met with Trump, sources with knowledge of the situation say Witt has indeed never met with Trump.
Witt did work in the Trump administration for approximately five months; however, he is not registered with the GA Bar so did not conduct legal work in favor of Trump after the election.
Conservative Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers endorsed Mike Collins for Congress in Georgia’s 10th Congressional District.
Republicans for National Renewal, a group that promotes national-populism within the Republican Party, also endorsed Collins back in August.
In addition to Collins and Witt, GA State Representative Paul Broun and businessman Matt Richards are also vying for the coveted seat.
There are 13 total candidates running to take over for Congressman Jody Hice who is vacating his seat to run for Secretary of State. Trucker and business leader Mike Collins is the current front-runner to replace Hice.
Do you want Mitt Romney staffers representing the Republican Party? Do you trust Witt given reports that he exaggerated his relationship with Trump? Should candidates who don’t live in the district be able to run? Let us know below!
