MICHIGAN — Last week, candidate for Governor Kevin Rinke released an ad calling out fellow candidate Tudor Dixon for being a ‘RINO’ (Republican In Name Only) because she takes money from the DeVos family. In response, Dixon’s campaign issued a strongly worded letter to the Rinke campaign threatening a lawsuit if the ad is not taken down.
The ad, which comes after a Missouri candidate for U.S. Senate called for violence against so-called RINOs, says, “She claims to be for Trump, but she’s been endorsed by the RINO establishment’s leading Never-Trumpers.”
The letter in response stated, “Campaigns can be tough, and we understand the frustration that must come with failing at fundraising, spending millions of your own dollars, and not getting traction with voters.”
The Rinke campaign stated that Tudor Dixon says one thing and then does another – insinuating that Dixon is just another politician who will do anything, say anything true or not and take money from any source just to win. The Dixon campaign then insinuated that Rinke is a wealthy man who has failed to connect with voters and is nothing more than a washed up used-car-salesman.
As of press time neither campaign has issued a denial of the claims insinuated by the other campaign.
