Kentucky osariigis toimub \u00e4ge vabariiklaste eelvalimisv\u00f5itlus, kus pikaajaline kongressisaadik Thomas Massie \u00fcritab s\u00e4ilitada oma kohta USA esindajatekojas. Massie on aga t\u00fclis vabariiklaste pealiiniga ning president Donald Trump toetab aktiivselt tema vastaskandidaati Ed Gallreini.<\/p>\n
Massie kuulub kongressi juba 2012. aastast ning teda peetakse iseseisvaks poliitikuks. Ta h\u00e4\u00e4letab sageli partei juhtkonna vastu, kritiseerib suuri kulutusi ega toeta s\u00f5jalist sekkumist v\u00e4lismaal.<\/p>\n
Massie n\u00f5udis Jeffrey Epsteini juhtumiga seotud dokumentide avalikustamist ning kritiseeris USA samme Iraani vastu. Kuna Massie ei j\u00e4rgi j\u00e4rjekindlalt Trumpi joont ja kritiseerib tema administratsiooni poliitikat, asus president eelvalimistel toetama endist merev\u00e4e eri\u00fcksuslast Ed Gallreini.<\/p>\n
Trump r\u00fcndab n\u00fc\u00fcd Massiet ning kutsus Kentucky valijaid \u00fcles teda ametist v\u00e4lja h\u00e4\u00e4letama. Pole veel selge, kas Massie suudab survele vastu seista ja j\u00e4\u00e4da Trumpi kiuste ametisse.<\/p>\n
K\u00fcsitlused n\u00e4itavad, et m\u00f5lema kandidaadi toetus on sisuliselt v\u00f5rdne ehk valimiste saatus p\u00fcsib noateral, vahendas The Times.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gallrein esitleb end patrioodina, kes on Trumpi liitlane ja meeskonnam\u00e4ngija. Gallreini selja taga on v\u00f5imsad ja rikkad toetajad ning Iisraeli-meelsed kampaaniar\u00fchmad on Massie kukutamiseks eraldanud \u00fcle \u00fcheksa miljoni dollari. Ka vabariiklaste pealiini ja Trumpiga seotud poliitilised tegevuskomiteed (super PAC-id) on eraldanud Gallreini kampaaniale miljoneid dollareid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kui Gallrein v\u00f5idab, kinnitaks see taas, et Trump on s\u00e4ilitanud vabariiklaste partei \u00fcle raudse haarde. Mitmed Massie varasemad toetajad on juba andnud m\u00e4rku, et h\u00e4\u00e4letavad seekord Gallreini poolt.<\/p>\n
59-aastane m\u00fc\u00fcgimees Tim Brock h\u00e4\u00e4letas varem Massie poolt, kuid on n\u00fc\u00fcd otsustanud toetada Gallreini. Talle ei meeldi, et Massie on vahel oma partei juhtkonnale vastu hakanud.<\/p>\n
“Ma saan aru, et ta (Massie) p\u00fc\u00fcab oma seisukohtade juurde j\u00e4\u00e4da. M\u00f5nikord tuleb aga m\u00f5elda laiema pildi peale ja \u00f6elda, et ma pean siin meeskonna eest v\u00e4ljas olema,” \u00fctles Brock ajalehele The Wall Street Journal.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kentucky osariigis toimub \u00e4ge vabariiklaste eelvalimisv\u00f5itlus, kus pikaajaline kongressisaadik Thomas Massie \u00fcritab s\u00e4ilitada oma kohta USA esindajatekojas.
