More on LTC Jody

Cal Cunningham

The Curious Case of Cal Cunningham continues. First, he didn’t know what “BBQ” meant in his home state of North Carolina. Then his Senate campaign has admitted that the tawdry text messages of a sexual nature sent to a woman married to a US Army officer (and wounded warrior), he’s also been accused of having another woman on the side. 

Erin Brinkman, a lawyer who previously worked on a campaign for Cunningham, said a friend of hers had been in a relationship with Cunningham since 2012.

“He’s been having an affair with a good friend of mine since 2012. Not the woman mentioned in the story. Needless to say, my friend was devastated. But my feeling is, if they’ll cheat WITH you, they’ll cheat ON you!,” Brinkman wrote on Facebook.

Cunningham, an Army Reserve JAG Corps LTC, is now facing an investigation into the matter (the cheating, not the BBQ, though that might warrant charges of conduct unbecoming on its own). Fox News reports;

The U.S. Army Reserve is investigating North Carolina Democratic candidate Cal Cunningham after text messages emerged suggesting he had an extramarital affair with a military wife as recently as over the summer.

“Cal will participate in this process, but it does not change the stakes of this election or the need for new leaders who will fight for the issues North Carolinians care about instead of caving to the corporate special interests – which is exactly what Senator [Thom] Tillis has done in his years in Washington,” a Cunningham campaign spokesperson said in a statement on Wednesday.

“The Army Reserve is investigating the matters involving Lt. Col. James Cunningham. As such, we are unable to provide further details at this time,” Simon B. Flake, a spokesman for the Army Reserve Strategic Communications, told North Carolina outlet WRAL on Wednesday.

They don’t say why he’s being investigated, but it’s a short list of possible reasons. A local NC news station happened upon the Democratic Senate candidate and he dodged any questions of substance.

“This campaign is not about my personal life,” he continued. “The campaign is about the people of North Carolina. That’s what I’m staying focused on. I’m going to make the strongest argument possible for why they’ll see my name on the ballot. It’s their health care, and it’s about their jobs, their higher wages.”

What a guy. His biggest mistake is letting all this come to light before he’s elected. Once he’s in, he can get a pass for all this conduct with that (D) after his name. Governor “Coon Man” Northam, the pediatric neurosurgeon who’s OK with infanticide and who will happily dance a jig at a press conference where he recounts the many times he appeared in blackface and/or a Klan hood (he still can’t remember which), has gotten a full pass in the state just to the north of LTC Jody.

The most recent polls still show this slimeball philandering blue falcon in a dead heat (or even ahead a few points) with Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC).

I can’t remember who all to thank for the links today. I got stuff on this from a bunch of folks, the KoB and ninja immediately come to mind. Thanks to anyone I forgot.
