Senate Candidate Who Said Trump ‘Makes People Cringe’ Has Campaign Manager Who Calls Women Bitches
A Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Virginia employs a campaign manager who frequently calls women the words “Bitch” and “slut” on his Facebook page.
Nick Freitas, who serves in the Virginia House of Delegates, is running in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Virginia against recent gubernatorial candidate Corey Stewart.
Freitas garnered scorn among President Donald Trump supporters last week by proclaiming that Trump “makes people cringe” with some of his statements. Freitas’ comment heightened suspicions that he is not loyal to the president. Those suspicions stem from Freitas’ support for establishment Republican Eric Cantor for Congress and his sharing of a post from anti-Trump writer Matt Walsh that called Trump a “terrible candidate” during the primary campaign.
Freitas’ campaign manager, Mark Kevin Lloyd has a proclivity for using the word “bitch” on his Facebook page, which presents another liability for Freitas in a potential general election race against Hillary Clinton’s former running mate Sen. Tim Kaine.
“At this point, I’m functioning as the campaign manager,” Lloyd told Big League Politics. “I think we have a great shot (of beating Corey Stewart).”
Asked about his Facebook comments, Lloyd was less than overwhelmingly apologetic.
“That was probably something I did a long time ago,” Lloyd said, referring to comments posted as recently as October 2017.
Asked if the comments could hurt his client’s chances, Lloyd said, “Yeah, well, hopefully not, but I doubt it, there’s a whole lot of bad stuff being said.”
“I might not should have said it,” Lloyd added.
Big League Politics obtained screenshots of Lloyd’s Facebook postings:
Here is Freitas’ floor speech at the House of Delegates in which he took an unprompted left-handed swipe at President Trump:

At the end of the day, the thing that unifies us as a people is our belief in individual liberty, in equality before the law, and the ability to pursue happiness. #SOTU

Kanye West Announces Presidential Campaign; 2020 Spoiler?
A shock entry to the Presidential race.
Rap artist and businessman Kanye West announced that he would be running for President in a surprise Saturday tweet; surprising some political commentators on what would be a late entry to the 2020 election. However, the Montana resident and businessman declined to specifically confirm that he would be running in the 2020 election, which is merely four months away.
We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States 🇺🇸! #2020VISION
— ye (@kanyewest) July 5, 2020
West generally trends conservative and adopted pious Christian views several years ago; changing the subject matter of his music to better reflect biblical themes. He’s maintained a warm relationship with President Trump, speaking of his opposition to stifling political correctness in the entertainment industry; the rapper even stated that he planned to cast his first ever vote for President Trump in the 2020 election.
Should he run in this election, it seems more likely that West would be at least inclined to vote for himself.
However, West’s appeal to the black community could mean that he serves as a de facto spoiler taking away enough votes from Democratic nominee Joe Biden to prevent the party elder figure from securing a November victory.
West was edited into the Wikipedia article for the pending 2020 presidential election hours within his tweet, being featured as a major party candidate in the election summary of the page.
Kanye West is yet to file a declaration of candidacy with the Federal Elections Committee, and it’s too late for him to get on the ballot on many major American states, raising questions about the timing or seriousness of his supposed 2020 campaign. However, the colorful musician could be referring to a 2024 campaign.
