Hyser Wilds Out at 6th District Forum
The 6th Congressional District Republicans got together last night for what appeared to be a wild Congressional forum.
Unsurprisingly, Muslim Chaplain Chris Hyser provided most of the fireworks by being a smarmy deceitful prick simultaneously claiming that he was the only candidate who “served on the battlefield” AND by calling for peace in a non-existent country:
“I am the only candidate up here that has served on the battlefield,” Hyser said to objections from panelists and the audience. “I pulled injured, dying and dead patriots off the battlefield. I did not fly over, riding around in a plane, push a button and drop a bomb. I am for peace, and because of that, I would broker peace with Israel and Palestine for a permanent ceasefire.”
Hyser was the only candidate to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, with all other candidates giving full-throated support for the U.S. to continue providing foreign aid to Israel. While the candidates didn’t push back on Hyser’s views on the war, they called out his comments that seemed aimed at Roca and Royals and interrupted his remarks.
The attacks on Royals and Roca are unsurprising, considering that Hyser once accused Royals of “never having worked a day in his life” despite being a Naval Combat Aviator. Hyser has attacked Royals for his service multiple times even though Hyser himself never served a day in a military uniform.
Hyser helpfully posted a video on social media of himself sharing this nonsense.
Hyser also has a history of being a Hamas appeaser and of recognizing the Palestinian state.
Hyser wasn’t the only one saying unbelievable things at the forum. Dan Cox actually said the following:
Cox said he believed he would be the right candidate to build bipartisan support between Maryland and Virginia officials to reopen [White’s] ferry because of his experience in the General Assembly. He served as a state delegate representing District 4 from 2018-2022.
“When you look at brokering those kinds of deals, the issue at the table is who is willing to stand up to the Democrats that are pulling those funds,” Cox said. “I know how to get things done.”
That was certainly not the reputation Cox had as a Delegate in Annapolis, where he was often the lone vote against certain bills and passed little to no original legislation of his own.
The Primary Election is May 14th.
