.RepJamesComer shrugged off attacks by the Democratic-aligned activist group Congressional Integrity Project flying a helicopter over the Kentucky Derby with a banner calling for an investigation into him reading: InvestigateComer.
The banner, which flew over Churchill Downs as thousands of people gathered to watch the annual horse race, simply displayed a website URL: investigatecomer.com. The website directs users to an article in the Louisville Courier-Journal reporting on a letter requesting an investigation into the Republican leader for his actions while running for governor in 2015. Today we’re flying a plane over the #KentuckyDerby calling for an investigation into @JamesComer.
“Comer all but admitted to the New York Times that his gubernatorial campaign had a hand in stealing a server, hacking emails, and leaking them,” the group wrote in a statement. “His constituents deserve to know who their Representative really is.
1) Nothing spells “INTIMIDATION” more than Biden’s dark money PAC paying a plane to fly over #KentuckyDerby to attack me for simply investigating public corruption“This desperate political stunt by the Bidens is helping me so much politically in Kentucky today, I wonder if I will be required to list it as an in-kind donation from China on my next campaign finance report?” he said in a tweet.
