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:

Freitas did not return multiple requests for comment as of press time.
