Jon Tester will be busy on the campaign trail for his liberal friend Rob Quist this weekend but he won’t be with the candidate himself.
While Quist will be campaigning with Bernie Sanders, Tester will be campaigning for the pro-gun registry candidate in Helena and Great Falls. I guess Tester didn’t want to be seen with the socialist Bernie Sanders and defend all the similar positions they have, but Montana voters deserve to know why he votes with Sanders 88% of the time.
Here are a few examples of Tester and Bernie’s identical voting record. If you are covering Tester’s events for the special election this weekend, it would be interesting to see what his excuse is for voting with a Socialist 88% of the time.
