Tillis said Cal Cunningham is “not fit to serve in the U.S.Senate,” as he is under investigation by the U.S. Army Reserves for a sex scandal.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) told Breitbart News exclusively on Saturday that his Democrat opponent, Cal Cunningham, is not fit to serve in the United States Senate given the fact he is under investigation by the U.S. Army Reserves over his sex scandal.
Compounding Cunninghams scandal, together with the recent revelations about Democrat presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden being directly directly implicated in the corruption surrounding his son, Hunter Biden, Tillis added that the entire Democrat ticket in North Carolina is compromised and running on a campaign of dishonesty driven out of their basements.
Joe Biden has not been truthful, Tillis said on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel this weekend. He said he had no knowledge of it. Now we see communications where he clearly did. I said this months ago. I said, my goodness, you and your son are on the back porch talking about how things are going, how the jobs going? You mean to tell me that his father did not know what he was doing in China and Ukraine making hundreds of thousands of dollars in a position he had no expertise for? And now it appears that those communications show how Hunter Biden used his fathers position to get paid and paid large sums of money, and now we even believe there may have been some access. But it goes beyond that. I dont think Joe Biden has been completely truthful. It even goes into his inability to tell the truth on where he is on packing the court. ‘If you wanna know my position, Ill tell you after I get elected.’ We know his position. Chuck Schumer will pass a bill that expands the Supreme Court and Joe Biden will sign it. Cal Cunningham would go to Washington and vote for the nuclear option that would lay the groundwork for the packing of the courts. Hed vote for Chuck Schumer. Theyre not being truthful. Cal Cunningham is saying whatever he can to get elected, and Joe Biden is trying to not say whatever he knows he has to, or what he believes, to get elected. Youre right. Up and down the ticket, the Democrats are running on a campaign of dishonesty driven out of their basements. The American people, and people of North Carolina, I dont know if theyre watching, but if they do, then clearly President Trump is going to get re-elected and Im going to get re-elected.
The explosive revelations about the Biden familys corruption, which directly implicates Joe Biden himself as well as several other members of his family, is hardly the only corruption inside the Democrat Party. Cunningham, the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate in North Carolina, was caught in an affair recently that has upended his race against Tillis. On Saturday, as Tillis appeared on the show, reports of a second mistress emergedall while Cunningham dodges the press and any questions about thisand while the U.S. Army Reserves investigates.
Asked to summarize the Cunningham scandal, Tillis told Breitbart News that it all began when Cunningham himself framed his campaign around truth and honorvalues he clearly himself does not follow, as evidenced by the scandal. Tillis said that this scandal demonstrates that Cunningham is not fit to serve in the U.S. Senate, especially while hes under investigation for his misconduct.
You know, it all started when Cal Cunningham was talking about ‘this campaign is about truth matters and honor,’ Tillis said. Then we hear the story break about his having an affair, which was confirmed by the mistressthe wife of a wounded warrior. Cal Cunningham is a Lt. Colonel in the army reserves. He is now under investigation by the Department of Defense for at least a violation of the code of conduct. If they were under the same command and he was active at the time, he could be brought up for more serious charges. After the story broke, he has gone silent. Hes not doing any campaign events. Hes cancelled a number of fundraising events. Ive been traveling across the state Im about to get in my truck and head out again today. He hasnt responded to the press. I have not seen the story, Matt, this morning, but I guess another revelation occurred this morning. Hes not fit to serve in the U.S. Senate. Can you imagine somebody whos under investigation by the army sitting on Senate Armed Services? Makes no sense.
Tillis also said that, given the fact that Cunningham has dodged the press on this and not been forthcoming about ithe refused to answer four separate times when asked last week if there was a second mistress, and now reports suggest there ismakes this a national security risk. Tillis said that foreign actors could exploit things that Cunningham is hiding in his background to compromise him if he were elected. Tillis noted, too, that Cunningham has a history of dishonesty on every other major issue including tax policy, energy and environmental policy, court packing, and even healthcare. Military experts told Breitbart News for a previous story, too, that there is a serious risk for “blackmail” of Cunningham if he were to be elected.
Thats why the investigation has to move forward, because obviously foreign actors try to find things about elected officials that could compromise them, Tillis said. Its a potential risk. Thats why I believe the Army is doing their job beyond just the code of conduct violation. We have to go back. Cal Cunningham broke a tax pledge when he ran for the U.S. Senate, said he wouldnt raise taxes, but raised it by a billion dollars after he was elected. During the primary he said he was for the Green New Deal, for Medicare for all. He won the primary saying whatever he had to to get elected. Now he says hes against it. He says he wouldnt pack the courts, but hell vote for Chuck Schumer, who has promised to pack the court. If North Carolina loses this Senate seat that I occupy for the people of North Carolina, were gonna see Cal Cunningham go to Washington and do whatever Chuck Schumer asks him to do. Chuck Schumer has already spent over $85 million in this race so far. All in, $233 million, because they know if they can win North Carolina, theyre going to win the majority in the U.S. Senate. Cals going to say and do anything right now, and hes doing everything to avoid the press because he doesnt want to be held accountable for his actions. This wasnt years ago. This was in his own home in July. The height of arrogance of him out thereI know theres another story out there today. I havent seen it but got a text right before I came on this show, but well see what were going to learn.
Whats more, Cunninghamaccording to some of the texts releasedmocked the veteran husband of his first mistress who had reportedly considered suicide. Veteran suicide, a major issue in America, is something Tillis has been fighting in his time in the U.S. Senateespecially since North Carolina has a huge veteran community. Veterans, meanwhile, are speaking out about Cunningham, urging North Carolinians to vote instead for Tillis over Cunningham’s disrespect of the veteran community. His mistress’s husband, the veteran in question, has called for Cunningham to end his campaign for Senate.
Its something Ive been working on since Ive been in the Senate on the Veterans Affairs Committee, Tillis said. “Also, keep in mind, he was a prosecutor. Hes a lawyer. Hes in the army. He was a lawyer. He has prosecuted cases under the military code, so he knows exactly what he did was breaking the very laws that he went into a courtroom and prosecuted others for, but youre right, hes an officer. The other gentleman was an enlisted, non-commissioned officer. I dont know his final rank when he retired or moved to veteran status. The veteran population in North Carolina, we have one of the largest in the country. Our military installations at Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune are among two the largest in the country. This matters to the military. It matters to military families. What matters is the fact that he has not been truthful. You cant build a campaign on the foundation of truth and honor and be untruthful and dishonorable while youre recording those ads, while youre talking about your priorities and then having admitted to it. The affair is not in controversy. Hes admitted to it. Now the question is how many were there? One final note for the family, the wounded warrior, the wife of Cal Cunningham, his teenage kids. I just hope everybody recognizes that the substance is terrible, but what I am concerned with is his dishonesty and dishonor, and we should hold him accountable but also respect the family members as we go through this process.
