Rosendale and Sheehy take shots at each other as Republicans brace for their worst nightmare
Helena, MT – A “brutal,” contentious GOP primary in the Montana U.S. Senate race seems to be “coming soon” – and Matt Rosendale and Tim Sheehy are already descending into a nasty, no-holds-barred brawl.

The Messenger: Matt Rosendale’s Fundraising Emails Suggest A Senate Campaign Announcement is Coming Soon
By Matt Holt

A review of Rosendale’s recent fundraising emails by The Messenger reveals that Rosendale is regularly attacking Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell by name.
He argues that the “establishment is lining up to install another member of the Washington uniparty” in one email, and in others said that Montanans will reject the “McConnell-Biden establishment.”
“The same RINO Establishment that is trying to force through a continuing resolution for the Biden Regime is ALSO trying to force an out-of-touch Senate candidate onto the people of Montana… It’s critical that we stand up to them and make our voices heard!”
And Wednesday night, in an email with the subject line “Election Rigging Plot Exposed,” Rosendale said that the “swamp” was forcing its candidate onto the voters.
Sheehy, appearing on Fox and Friends Tuesday morning, was asked about Rosendale’s criticisms of his candidacy.
“That’s been Matt’s narrative,” Sheehy said, responding to a question about Rosendale labeling him as the candidate of the party bosses. “There’s a difference between an outsider and an insider that nobody likes. And he’s an insider that nobody likes, who’s running for his third term in Congress, and has been a career politician – eight offices in 13 years.”
