Peter Meijer (R-Mich.) recently slammed Democrats over their meddling in the state\u2019s Republican primary. During an interview on Sunday, Meijer claimed the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) united with Republicans to get challenger, John Gibbs, across the finish line.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>The committee spent $325,000 on an ad promoting Gibbs. Meijer claimed the DCCC\u2019s involvement was due to the committee wanting to boost a Republican they think will be easier to defeat in the general elections in November.<\/p>\n<p>Meijer thinks it\u2019s problematic that today\u2019s political climate awards personality.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThis is a risky strategy. It\u2019s a dangerous strategy,\u201d he said. \u201cWhere President Biden is in his approval is so in the gutter that it is easy to see that strategy backfiring in a spectacular way which is all the more reason why we should not be embracing the zero sum idea of politics.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The congressman was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach 45th President Donald Trump the second time.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/poll-56-of-americans-say-personal-finances-worse-under-biden\/\">Poll: 56% Of Americans Say Personal Finances Worse Under Biden<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this July 25, 2022 photo, Michigan\u2019s 3rd District Congressional Republican Rep.
