Michael Bloomberg’s
Money Fails Again as Pro-Gun GOP Holds VA Senate
by AWR Hawkins 4 Nov 2015
In the lead-up to the November 3 elections, Michael Bloomberg pumped over $2 million into a
couple of Virginia state Senate races in
hopes of taking away the pro-gun GOP’s two-seat advantage and giving Governor
Terry McAuliffe (D) the opportunity to start succeeding with his gun control
efforts. But when the polls closed and the dust settled, the GOP had retained
all their seats, and Bloomberg’s money had failed to secure gun control once
again.
Ironically, it was nearly two years ago to the day that
Bloomberg’s gun control dreams for Virginia suffered a staggering setback. Through
Mayors
Against Illegal Guns (MAIG),
Bloomberg & Co. endorsed candidates, only to lose in “97 percent of
Virginia delegate races.” And, as BPR
reported, the worst part of election results for Bloomberg was that
his losses came at the hands of the NRA.
Next came August 12, 2014, and Milwaukee County Sheriff
David Clarke, Jr.’s, re-election bid. Breitbart News reported
that Bloomberg dumped $150,000 into the race to see Clarke defeated, and the Milwaukee-Wisconsin
Sentinel Journal reported that other liberal groups poured in an
additional $400,000 to help him lose.
But Clarke won, and Bloomberg & Co. lost again.
Then came the 2o14 mid-term elections. These were elections
for which Bloomberg vowed to spend $50 million to defeat the NRA. The result?
Bloomberg spent $50 million, and pro-Second Amendment candidates shellacked
candidates running on a gun control platform.
He backed gun control Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO), who was defeated by pro-Second Amendment
candidate Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) 38%; gun control Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC), who was defeated by pro-Second Amendment
candidate Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) 38%; gun control Senate candidate
Michelle
Nunn (D), who lost to pro-Second
Amendment candidate Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) 75%; and gun
control Sen. Mary Landrieu (R-LA), who lost to pro-Second Amendment
candidate Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) 62%.
Bloomberg and his gun control group were also handed a
defeat in the September 2013 Colorado recalls.
Then came November 3, 2015, and Bloomberg’s latest
opportunity to redeem his fledgling gun control effort while simultaneously
providing McAuliffe a way to further restrict the right to keep and bear arms.
Again, Bloomberg’s efforts fell short. The
Washington Post observed, “Democrats could have taken control by
picking up just one seat because of the tie-breaking authority of Lt. Gov.
Ralph Northam (D). But Republicans held all of their seats.”
