“…James has been pretty absent from the public well before COVID-19” – WPBN (5/7/20)
James didn’t do Michigan TV interview for 335 days, still hasn’t spoken to Michigan newspapers in 230 days
After nearly a year in hiding from Michigan voters and media and facing growing scrutiny for dodging Michiganders, failed politician John James is attempting to restart his flailing campaign with a second ad – having already sunk nearly half a million dollars into his first ad, a false political attack.
James talked about the latest ad in his first Michigan TV interview in 335 days, where he once again showed his “2000%” loyalty to Trump and praised Trump’s erratic response to the Coronavirus pandemic that has killed over 70,000 Americans and disproportionately impacted Michigan. James used the interview to tout his own political campaign instead of answering the kind of questions he has hid from over the last year, like if he agrees with Trump’s decision to double down on dismantling the health care law that protects 1.7 million Michiganders with pre-existing conditions.
“John James has been hiding from Michiganders for nearly a year, and is now attempting to move the needle for his absent campaign with slogans and no substance,” said Michigan Democratic Party Spokesperson Elena Kuhn. “Despite his campaign’s attempt to reboot, the fact is James can’t paper over his positions to take away Michiganders’ health care and still lacks solutions and substance on the issues Michiganders care about most.”
