House Republicans Launch "Sitting Duck" Program

[Rose Siding]

At yesterday morning’s meeting of the House Republican Conference, National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Tom Reynolds (R-N.Y.) unveiled a duck with Rep. John Spratt’s (D-S.C.) name on it — part of the Republicans’ new “sitting duck” program to unseat vulnerable Democrats.

Spratt is facing a stiff challenge this fall from state legislator Ralph Norman.

About 40 members signed the replica waterfowl before it’s sent to Norman, said NRCC spokesman Jonathan Collegio.

“It shows the conference is behind Norman,” he said. “We’re going to be doing it with almost all of our Democrat targets.”

Sarah Feinberg, spokeswoman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, was not impressed.

“While it is true that Norman is going to need all the help he can get from the Republican special-interest caucus, I think everyone can agree that this stunt to give Norman a fake duck is at best, well, lame,” she said.
