As part of his two-day Appalachia damage control tour, Retread Ted Strickland released a web video with vintage campaign footage highlighting that he’s been a politician for a very, very, very, long time. What Retread Ted conveniently doesn’t mention in his video, is that he left his Appalachian roots for the democratic machine and his liberal special interest “dream job” in Washington, DC.
In a new video by the Portman campaign, “Left It,” all of Strickland’s missing details are filled in…
-
Retread Ted Strickland was president of the liberal Center for American Progress (CAP), a role he called his “dream job” being paid $250,000
-
Strickland’s liberal special interest group, CAP, supported job-killing regulations, Obamacare, and called coal a “dead man walking” and celebrated that the Clean Power Plan “speeds up the transition.”
- Retread Ted lost the endorsement of the United Mine Workers of America’s (UMWA) political arm, a group had previously endorsed him both in 2006 and 2010. Strickland even admitted, “losing the coal endorsement hurt."
