Does this Video Suggest a Ken Miller Endorsement by GOP Director?

A campaign video for Republican candidate for Governor Ken Miller includes footage of the Executive Director of the Republican Party talking with Miller interspersed with other prominent and community endorsers of the candidate.

Here’s the video:

It’s certainly not the first time a candidate has used someone’s image in a campaign, but placing it in with his other endorsements–in his endorsement themed video– is a bold move unless he has permission to do so.

Greenwood has not, to my knowledge, come out with a public statement in support of Miller at this time.

Others in the Miller endorsement video say they are supporting him because, “Ken is a God fearing humble man” who “takes his wisdom from Jesus Christ.”  The supporters, which also include Rep. Derek Skees (R-TEA Whitefish) say Miller  ”will push back on the federal government” and that he is “pious.”

One woman is supporting Miller because she was” impressed that he was dressed as Abe Lincoln on a float.”

Presumably that was one of the better reasons to endorse Ken or it wouldn’t have made it into the video.

    I just don’t see it. The fact that there is a brief shot of the GOP director in the video does not, in any way, suggest that he is endorced by him.

    You did point out the fact that Ken Miller is running on a religious platform, though. Kudos to that. Anytime a candidate starts pulling the Jesus card, he has lost my vote (not that Ken Miller ever had mine).

    I don’t think the GOP ED is endorsing Miller, but I don’t think Miller is above trying to convey that he’s close to Greenwood. There are a lot of idiots in this. The whole thing is bad.

    Wait a minute, does that mean all those soldiers in the Bullock video with General Walsh are actually endorsing Bullock and Walsh? Oh wait, they can’t do that in uniform. But Bullock and Walsh can’t put soldiers in uniform in their video without breaking the law and Army regulations, so whose actually checking?

    Would you Democrats please try to win an election without breaking the law? Would you please try it just once, just to see what it feels like? Then you can go back to your criminal ways, because you can always say, “We tried it once in 2012 and we got whupped.”

    WOW I’ve travelled all over this state from every corner to the next, and I did not know we had that many idiots in this state, I thought all the idiots were either in the Yellowstone GOP or they lived up in the Flathead and played milita games. WOW

    Regardless of whether Bowen supports Miller (I suspect he does NOT), this video provides ample reasoning to oppose this candidate. One word. YIKES.

    Aren’t these people pretty much just the anti-cannabis crusaders from Billings? I didn’t see a broad swath of support.
