E.W. Jackson, Lt. Gov Candidate, In 'Fundamental Agreement' With Ken Cuccinelli

Source: Huffington Post



Since his nomination in May, Virginia's GOP lieutenant governor candidate E.W. Jackson has come under heated scrutiny for past controversial statements. Now he wants the public to know that there is no sunlight between him and his running mate, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R).

In a radio interview with WMAL, the conservative minister insisted the two were in "fundamental agreement.” “I've heard that this ticket is probably more homogeneous than almost any ticket in the history of Virginia, so there’s no stark disagreement between us,” he said.

Jackson has came under fire for once saying that Planned Parenthood had been more harmful to African-Americans than the Ku Klux Klan.

He also wrote in 2010 that President Barack Obama "clearly has Muslim sensibilities," and warned for the future of Israel, as BuzzFeed reported. He also has a history of anti-gay statements. Jackson has not apologized for his remarks.

I can't remember how long the streak is but I think it goes 4 or 5 national elections.

Our off year Gov election and the fact that you can't be re-elected as Gov makes these races pretty crazy.
