AP reports James’ hiding from Michigan TV news outlets “at one point surpassed 300 days”
James still absent from Michigan media, opts for friendly safe space on Fox News
Last night, failed politician John James made his 10th appearance on Fox News this campaign cycle, and 50th across both his campaigns – but he’s still largely refusing to answer questions from Michigan media.
With only 160 days to go until election day and nearly a year since he’s announced his campaign, James has done only three TV interviews with in-state media, and is still refusing to answer questions on his support for repealing the health care law which protects 1.7 million Michiganders with pre-existing conditions, and being “all for” Trump’s agenda even as he threatens to withhold funding from the state.
“John James has spent more time on Fox and Friends and fundraising out of state than he has spent talking to Michigan press,” said Michigan Democratic Party spokesperson Elena Kuhn. “James has made clear he’s not interested in speaking directly to Michiganders – and it’s no surprise since he’d have to explain why he supports taking away their health care and his ‘2000%’ support for Trump”
The Michigan Democratic Party launched JohnJamesRevealed.com to hold the failed U.S. Senate candidate accountable for his positions – including those made over the course of the 2018 campaign that he then tried to delete after losing that campaign. Since announcing he’d run again, just over six months after his last failed bid, James has been hiding from Michigan voters and refusing to answer questions from Michigan media.
