Lexington, KY—Tonight, the Andy Barr for U.S. Senate campaign released the following statement after Nate Morris, a failed businessman, with a record more like a California liberal than a Kentucky conservative, announced he is running to give California or New York a third U.S. Senator:
“When Nate Morris says it’s time to take out the trash, he must be talking about his own past. Nate is the only candidate who didn’t support Donald Trump in the 2024 primary — he gave $5,000 to Nikki Haley, championed radical DEI policies, used diversity quotas for hiring, and even hired Obama and Kamala’s campaign manager to help run his company. Nate Morris is pretending to be MAGA now, but he can’t run from all the liberal trash in his past. Kentucky conservatives won’t fall for this fraud.”
Meet the Real Nate Morris
· Nate Morris is trying to remake himself as a MAGA warrior and hoping he can fool Kentuckians into believing it. But the truth about his record paints a totally different picture.
· Morris backed Nikki Haley, NOT President Trump, ahead of the 2024 Presidential Campaign
· Nate is a johnny come lately to the MAGA movement. Who was his 2024 Republican candidate of choice? Nikki Haley. He didn’t donate to Trump in 2016, 2020, or 2024 primary.
· Nikki Haley was the ONLY Republican candidate Nate Morris donated to ahead of the 2024 Republican Presidential Primary.
· Nate personally donated $5,000 to Nikki Haley’s SuperPAC ahead of the 2024 Republican Primary.
Morris is trying to throw away his past support for McConnell, Massie, and Paul
· Nate isn’t anti-McConnell, he’s just a classic political opportunist. He was a max donor and fundraiser for McConnell.
· Nate was on the payroll of Senator McConnell, he worked for McConnell for 2000-2001.
· Nate has donated more frequently to Senator McConnell, Senator Paul, and Congressman Massie than he has to President Trump.
Morris is America’s Original Woke CEO
· Nate was all-in on DEI and ESG as a corporate CEO. He even hired David Plouffe and Leonardo DiCaprio to help him run his company.
· Under his leadership, the company bragged that they were “committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
· In 2019, Nate signed the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge.
· Nate’s made his employees take “unconscious bias education” courses.
· His company gloated about having 50% of his corporate board composed of “historically-underrepresented” people—prioritizing identity politics over hiring the best talent.
· Nate’s business pushed employees to support businesses that were “eco-friendly and LGBTQ+ owned”
· Unsurprisingly, under Morris’ leadership, Rubicon suffered a $281 million operating loss in his last year as CEO with his focus on DEI.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Kentucky conservatives will be terrified as they learn the truth. Nate Morris is a fraud.
