Dear President Trump, You have rightfully complained about fake news and the corrupt Obama-era Department of Justice (DOJ). However, you seem unaware of the fact that you are not the only one under attack. The attacks on me began 33 years ago and culminated with my being falsely charged with three felonies. Even though the odds of beating three felonies are at least 150 to 1, I did beat all three that were levied against me. However, I was then sent to prison for a fake misdemeanor charge and conviction — a fact your son, Mitch McConnell, and even Fox…
Don Blankenship released the following statement today following the 2018 West Virginia Primary Election. First, I want to thank everyone who voted in the election and supported our effort along the way. We brought a lot of attention to issues of importance to the people of our great state. And I met many good West Virginia people along the way. West Virginia lost a great opportunity to lead the nation back to putting America First. Unfortunately, the Establishment misinformed the President, and he lost the opportunity to have his strongest ally in the U.S. Senate. West Virginia voters must now…
Today, Don Blankenship’s campaign released a poll of nearly 1,000 West Virginia Republican Primary voters which shows him with a sizeable lead over both Patrick Morrisey and Evan Jenkins. Blankenship received 37% of the vote in the survey, compared to 20% for Morrisey and 15% for Jenkins. Additionally, two polls, as reported by The Weekly Standard (HERE) conducted by other campaigns show Blankenship is leading the race. Blankenship has surged to the lead after winning the May 1st debate on FOX News in Morgantown, and separated over the last week from the pack. Career politicians and the DC Establishment have…
The President is a very busy man and he doesn’t know me, and he doesn’t know how flawed my two main opponents are in this primary. The establishment is misinforming him because they do not want me to be in the U.S. Senate and promote the President’s agenda. West Virginians are not going to vote for candidates who have failed to address the drug epidemic, aligned themselves with abortionists, and have never created a job. I will win the primary and I will beat Joe Manchin. West Virginians want more jobs, an end to the drug epidemic, and an honest…
The establishment is doing everything they can to keep Joe Manchin in office. I am the only candidate in this race that has beaten Manchin on several political issues. I beat him on the food tax and the $5.5 billion bond. The establishment needs to stand down in this race, and I will beat Manchin in the fall. In this primary, everyone said I could not win, but it is now apparent to the establishment that I will win. West Virginians are dying by the hundreds every year from opiate drugs and they will not vote for a drug lobbyist…
Mitch McConnell and his family have extensive ties to China. His father-in-law who founded and owns a large Chinese shipping company has given Mitch and his wife millions of dollars over the years. The company was implicated recently in smuggling cocaine from Colombia to Europe, hidden aboard a company ship carrying foreign coal was $7 million dollars of cocaine and that is why we’ve deemed him “Cocaine Mitch.” READ: “Shipping Company Owned By Chao Family Caught With Drugs” Despite being a career politician for more than three decades, Mitch has become a millionaire while raising our national debt by 20…
Don Blankenship released the attached excerpt and comments so that concerned Americans can understand one of the many actual reasons Senator McConnell is opposing his candidacy for U.S. Senate: Senator McConnell is not only a Swamper – he is the Swamp Captain. His conflicted and anti-American positions are helping to bankrupt our country. Senator McConnell may also be assisting the Swamp in the cover-up of the government’s killing of twenty-nine coal miners. The facts surrounding the death of the miners clearly show a cover-up. The government required the miners to cut their airflow in half. A cut in the air…
Mitch McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao are knowingly and falsely claiming my comments about McConnell’s connections to China are attacks on his family. This is nothing more than a trick to divert attention from a clear conflict of interest. McConnell is so indebted to China that he even took their order to cosponsor a Senate bill to remove human rights reporting requirements from free trade deals. Those requirements were put in place after China’s abuses following protests for freedom we saw worldwide from Tiananmen Square. (S.2277, https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/106/s2277/text) McConnell and large multinational corporations simply want to continue allowing the Chinese…
Don Blankenship, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, issued the following response to a fake and misleading New York Times story. The New York Times has joined forces with a Super PAC to disparage me and my campaign. The reporter is clearly a communist propagandist with no American values, whatsoever. Much of what he says is filled with outright lies and nearly all of the rest is simply misrepresentation. It would be too kind to call his article fake news. It is communist propaganda. He claims my primary residence is Nevada. My life now spans 68 years and I have spent…
Today my attorneys will file a motion to vacate my misdemeanor conviction. The motion will include the following and more. The motion will say that after prosecutors Booth Goodwin and Steve Ruby left the United States Attorney’s office that the government began to provide to my attorneys information that would have been helpful to my defense but that had not been provided before trial. This is information the government was legally obligated to provide me for my defense. Included in the information were sixty one Memorandums of Interviews (MOI). Also included were forty-eight emails and nine previously undisclosed documents. Included…
