E.W. Jackson Complains That He Was Portrayed As A 'Nutcase' During His Run For Office

E.W. Jackson, the failed Republican candidate for lieutenant governor in Virginia last year, appeared on the AFA's "Today's Issues" program recently where he complained that the mainstream media misrepresented his past statements and record in order to portray him as a "nutcase."

Jackson said that he was "very hurt" by the supposedly unfair attacks on him "because when people say things about you that aren't true and they skew things that you said and try to turn you into a nutcase and make you seem like you're really completely outside of the mainstream of American thinking, you know that's not fun":

The reality, of course, is that what painted Jackson as a "nutcase" was not a "skewing" of his past statements, but simply quoting them verbatim.
