ICYMI New Report: Democrat Cal Cunningham Touts Anti-Corruption Credentials Despite Being Investigated By Army
October 20, 2020
For Immediate Release
RALEIGH, NC-- Cal Cunningham today was caught continuing to advertise his military background to North Carolinians, undermining the argument he’s attempted to make that his, “campaign is about things that are much bigger and more important than just me.” As a new report reveals, Cal Cunningham is still campaigning on his time in the military as he’s being investigated by the U.S. Army.
“Cal Cunningham doesn’t get to have it both ways,” said NCGOP Press Secretary Tim Wigginton. “He can’t say his background and ongoing investigation by the U.S. Army Reserve doesn’t matter and then feature his time in the military front and center in campaign advertisements. This latest development just further demonstrates that Cal Cunningham is a shameless hypocrite running one big lie of a campaign.”

North Carolina Senate Democrat Cal Cunningham has continued to campaign on his anti-corruption credentials despite being investigated by the U.S. Army for potentially violating the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
Cunningham sent out a mailer recently touting how he reportedly “took on corrupt military contractors in Iraq.”
...
However, despite his anti-corruption ad, the U.S. Army Reserve is investigating Cunningham for having an extramarital affair with another veteran’s wife, which is in potential violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
Cunningham’s affair scandal led former Marine military lawyer Col. (Ret.) Charles Jones to urge North Carolina voters to hold Cunningham accountable for his affair. Jones called Cunningham’s actions “inexcusable” and a “public disgrace of the uniform.”
Four U.S. Army veterans condemned Cunningham for having an affair with a disabled combat veteran’s wife in a recently released ad from the Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) campaign.

The Tillis campaign has continued to slam Cunningham for refusing to address allegations that the North Carolina Democrat had a second affair with Anne Gregory Teicher.
