One of WND’s edgiest voices is challenging a liberal stronghold in
North Carolina by running for state senator on a platform of personal
freedom for everyone – liberal, conservative or otherwise.
“I am the GOP cruise missile, and I intend to crush the Obama clone in Raleigh,” says
Molotov Mitchell, who appears in WND each week with his
“For the Record” video column.
Mitchell is taking on Democrat State Senate Minority Whip Josh Stein
in November. Stein is a staunch liberal, whose record includes votes
against several pro-life bills during the last legislative session and
strong support for same-sex marriage, having received an award from the
Equality NC Foundation for his advocacy on the issue.
“Stein has long been considered one of the state’s strongest allies
for LGBT equality,” the foundation said in a press release. “The
progressive Democrat actively worked to include sexual orientation and
gender identity in K-12 anti-bullying legislation.”
The district leans solidly Democrat after it was specifically
redistricted to be a safely Democrat seat. It is so solidly Democrat,
that in the last election, Stein ran unopposed.
Mitchell told WND that while he knows it will be a difficult battle
to win, he nevertheless believes he has a strong shot at taking down
this Democrat Goliath and conquering a liberal stronghold in the state.
Mitchell explained to WND he believes the tide is turning back to
conservatism in the state, noting that in 2010 a Republican revolution
took control of both chambers of the legislature as well as the
governorship and lieutenant governorship. Since that time the
Republicans have used conservative principles to turn things around in
the state.
