He is running as a liberal Democrat. But he\u2019s not running as a liberal Democrat, and that\u2019s the key to success this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McMullin is running as a self-professed independent, despite running with the complete <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/10\/20\/evan-mcmullin-is-a-democrat-and-a-fraud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">endorsement <\/a>of the Democratic Party while his campaign doles out <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/mcmullins-campaign-paid-over-1-201732931.html\">$1.6 million<\/a> to Democratic consultants in his crusade against GOP incumbent Sen. Mike Lee, one of the most constitutionally conservative senators in office. McMullin is also actively fundraising with the Democrats\u2019 money machine ActBlue. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvan McMullin is roughly as independent as Kamala Harris is,\u201d Carlson said. \u201cMcMullin is fully on board with every anti-family scheme the Democratic Party has dreamed up over the last decade. As a supposedly faithful Mormon, he can\u2019t even acknowledge that<em> Roe v. Wade<\/em> was a bad decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In May, McMullin <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/05\/05\/mike-lee-opponent-evan-mcmullin-embraces-left-wing-abortion-activism-denounces-pro-life-repeal-of-roe-v-wade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trashed <\/a>the Supreme Court\u2019s leaked plans to overturn the landmark decision overturning <em>Roe v. Wade <\/em>in what became a generational accomplishment of the conservative movement. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf <em>Roe v. Wade <\/em>is overturned,\u201d McMullin wrote in a statement at the time wherein he also described himself a \u201cpro-life Utahn,\u201d \u201csome states will immediately enact extreme laws \u2013 such as total bans on abortion, onerous limits on birth control, and criminalization of women in desperate situations.\u201d With few specifics, McMullin said he \u201coppose[d] such laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlson played a clip of McMullin going on MSNBC to argue the decision\u2019s reversal by the Supreme Court this summer was the wrong way \u201cfor the country to move forward on this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McMullin laid the groundwork for his Utah Senate bid when he ran as the third-party NeverTrump presidential candidate in 2016. The ex-House staffer and former CIA officer is running today as the pet candidate of the publicly tarnished Lincoln Project. A McMullin upset threatens to hand Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer another term as majority leader. <\/p>\n<p>Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney has refused to endorse the re-election bid of Lee, his same-state colleague of the same party. Every other Republican member of the upper chamber has offered Lee his or her full endorsement. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t get involved in primaries and I don\u2019t endorse,\u201d Romney\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/minutes\/congress\/03-8-2022\/another-round-of-jan-6-documents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a>\u00a0Politico earlier this year. Days later, the Utah senator attended a fundraiser for Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, who <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/18\/analysis-if-not-for-democrat-voters-cheneys-loss-would-have-been-even-more-devastating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">overwhelmingly <\/a>lost her August primary to attorney Harriet Hageman.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month on Carlson\u2019s program, Lee challenged Romney to endorse his bid for a third term to keep Democrats from remaining in the majority. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think Mitt Romney wants Chuck Schumer to continue to be the Senate majority leader,\u201d Lee <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/10\/12\/mike-lee-to-mitt-romney-if-you-dont-want-schumer-leading-the-senate-support-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>. \u201cIf I\u2019m right on that, then he needs to get on board, because that\u2019s exactly what he will be producing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McMullin, on the other<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Evan McMullin has the same politics and worldview as Pete Buttigieg.
