CNN reports:
Tim Sheehy stumped behind closed doors earlier this week here with a crowd of supporters eager to make him the GOP’s Senate majority maker. But the 38-year-old political novice was also eager not to be seen outside those doors. Sheehy and his campaign have gone to extreme lengths to avoid press scrutiny as he seeks to ride former President Donald Trump’s coattails and tap into a reddening Montana to oust the three-term Democratic incumbent, Sen. Jon Tester, in November.
Sheehy rarely grants interviews to local or national press, while his campaign doesn’t discuss his schedule or provide information about his events, which tend to be closed affairs. And after CNN was turned away from the Bozeman event this week, after learning about it through sources, his campaign orchestrated his departure to try to deny a TV camera from getting footage of him leaving – going as far as dispatching a pickup truck to block the camera.
Read the full article. Sheehy has been busted lying about “living below the poverty line” before running for office and about a gunshot “war wound” that was actually accidentally self-inflicted at a US national park. Watch the clip.
