Favorite Media Hack Matt Dowd Quits Texas Lt. Governor’s Race for Sake of ‘Diversity’

That was fast. Frequent CNN and MSNBC visitor Matt Dowd introduced late in September that he was working for Lt. Governor of Texas and just a bit over a few months later he’s quitting. And why is he quitting the race? Due to what he perceives to be the self-sacrificial noble reason for “variety.” I child you not.

The title of Tuesday’s Texas Tribune explains all of it, “Democrat Matthew Dowd ends marketing campaign for Texas lieutenant governor, citing want for “higher variety.”

Matthew Dowd, a former George W. Bush political strategist who had launched a bid to be the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor in 2022, ended his marketing campaign Tuesday, six days earlier than the candidate submitting deadline.

In an announcement, Dowd, who’s white, stated he was dropping out of the race to make approach for a extra numerous discipline of candidates.

“After I first introduced, the one different candidate was a white male Christian,” Dowd stated, referring to fellow Democratic candidate Mike Collier. “A various discipline is now rising within the Democratic major for this workplace. I don’t need to be the one who stands in the way in which of the higher variety we’d like in politics.”

Or possibly Dowd was simply so low cost that he did not need to pay the submitting payment.

Did the genesis of the variety drop-out shtick happen to him on October 4 when plainly CNN’s Brianna Keilar gave him the excuse for future use?

I do need to ask you about one thing that you just wrote in 2018. You stated, “I’d humbly counsel that we as white male Christians to step again and provides extra individuals who do not seem like us entry to the levers of energy. As a white male Christian in America, I’m a part of a dwindling subset that has held the levers of energy politically and economically in practically each discipline for the complete historical past of the USA.” So clearly you had been expressing sentiment that there wanted to be extra illustration, and now you might be working for lieutenant governor. How do you sq. that?
