this is insane

Tonight, if you’re searching for Brendan Kelly, don’t expect to catch him in Southern Illinois talking about working across the aisle. Instead, you’ll find him schmoozing with Nancy Pelosi on Capitol Hill.

Remember when Brendan Kelly made national news for saying he doesn’t support Nancy Pelosi or anyone in current leadership?

3/26/18: “I think we need new leadership in both parties and that’s just how I feel and I feel that way because the way it’s currently going in D.C. has not served the people of Southern Illinois.” – Brendan Kelly

4/25/18: “Non-Supporter of Pelosi Benefits From Her Fundraising” – RealClearPolitics

Wow! Turns out all Pelosi had to do to change his mind was fly him out to DC and raise him some cash. She’s headlining a fundraiser for Kelly in DC tonight. Invitation here.

“It is astounding that Brendan Kelly thinks he can get away with bashing Nancy Pelosi in Southern Illinois while also raising money with her in DC. Kelly is already the worst kind of politician – he says one thing to voters back home, and does the complete opposite in Washington. Voters should be misled no longer: a vote for Brendan Kelly is a vote for Nancy Pelosi.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maddie Anderson
