Charlie Hatcher

...

I think you're really touching on Chaz Mulder's ad against Charlie Hatcher-

Yeah

... where it's the snake coming out of the eggshell.

Well, that's not the only one.

Is that right? Well, there's a lot of attack ads going against Charlie Hatcher.

Yeah, that's not the only one.

Which we're gonna t-

Uh, so let's maybe just take them in order, starting with the 5th District.

That's Columbia Mayor Chaz Molder and former Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher.

Uh, I saw Molder, uh, is hitting Hatcher with a few attack ads on his m- maybe, uh, kind of accepting kind of position on data centers, uh, some deadlines and details he missed as Ag Commissioner.

Marianna, what, what does it tell you that Molder is kinda the one on the attack, not Hatcher?

And was held by a Democrat, although it's changed almost entirely, yeah.

Exactly.

Um, but I think that there is this sense of Charlie Hatcher is a little bit of a different candidate from some of the other Republican candidates.

I mean, he won his primary by being an alternative to Andy Ogles, our, the current District 5 congressman, who's sort of known for kind of always being on the attack.

And what I find fascinating about this guy, he just posted an ad because Cindy Hyde-Smith was asked, like all the Republicans are being asked, about, about grocery prices.

We had Charlie Hatcher on, and Charlie Hatcher said, "Let 'em eat, uh, let 'em eat turkey.

If you can't afford ground beef, let 'em eat turkey." Here's what Cindy Hyde-Smith had to say.

Cut 33.

Something is happening out there.

We- we've seen this with- with Mayor Molder, who, uh, again, has been really making a play for Shelby County.

The Republican nominee, Charlie Hatcher, has not been here much a- at all.

Um, and we've noticed that a lot of Independents are beginning to look at Molder as a possible contender in that race.

So he's out.

So there's no incumbent in that race between Chas Mulder and Charlie Hatcher.

The only incumbent left, the last incumbent standing, so to speak-

Mm-hmm

So she was doing an interview the other day, and we...

There was a guy named Charlie Hatcher in Tennessee, who was actually on my show, and the guy was the former AG commissioner of Tennessee.

He's running for Congress, and he was- said he was really upset about the high prices of beef.

So I said, "What is your, what is your message to the voters?" And he said, "Well, turkey is cheaper." I think he said turkey is $4 a pound So Charlie Hancher, the Republican, says, you know, "Eat more turkey." Uh, you have Michelle Tafoya, who is running for the Senate as a Republican in Minnesota, saying, "Don't buy Starbucks." That's the answer to, you know, the, the, the, the, the high prices.
