Gerlach Hires Neo-Christian Campaign Manager

Congressman Jim Gerlach has hired a graduate of Bob Jones University to be his new campaign manager. Brandon Moody is a graduate of the school infamous for its extreme racist policies. Of course blatant racism is nothing new to South Carolina but the voters of the 6th Congressional District might look askance at this decision.

Considering the appalling negativity being waged by Gerlach having someone from such an institution makes sense. Explain to the minorities in Coatesville and Reading why you elevated someone who went to college where whites are not allowed to mix with other races to run your campaign Jim. Those twisted, untruthful mailers inundating mailboxes in the 6th CD are beginning to make sense now.

Moody comes to Gerlach from the College Republican National Committee where he was Finance Director. One has to wonder why one of the most hotly contested campaigns in the country has to rely on a young rookie from the College Republicans to manage their race.
