But the bigger story is his attempt to drag TAH into his campaign. Apparently, he thinks that any publicity is good publicity. He&#8217;s even sent his flyers to Chris Hill from GOE who sent me a link yesterday to Kokesh&#8217;s blog entry about Hill pointing out the addition of the parenthetical comment under the original title. Apparently, Kokesh is trying to soften his image in preparation for his run at a congressional seat in Santa Fe.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/chris-hill.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/chris-hill-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"chris-hill\" title=\"chris-hill\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-12109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/chris-hill-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/chris-hill.jpg 685w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<object width=\"280\" height=\"225\"><\/p>\n<p>It may have backfired on Kokesh, though. Just last week, a Phoenix newspaper linked to This Ain&#8217;t Hell in regards to Kokesh&#8217;s candidacy. They used all of our posts about Kokesh over the last two years to warn voters away from him.<\/p>\n<p>Poor Adam is still mired in his past thinking it will win him an election. His <a href=\"http:\/\/kokeshforcongress.com\/posts\/adam-kokesh-090628-get-stuck-rummy\">latest rants are about Donald Rumsfeld<\/a> owning stock in the company that makes Tamaflu. I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s why Democrats spent that money on flu prevention &#8211; to fill Rummy&#8217;s pockets.<\/p>\n<p>But the most disturbing part of Kokesh&#8217;s new personae is that he&#8217;s doing interviews with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.russiatoday.ru\/A\/search?q=kokesh&#038;x=0&#038;y=0\">Russia Today<\/a> in which they describe him as an &#8220;expert&#8221;.
