Mia Love: ‘There Is a Coordinated Effort out There Around Campaign Time to Smear’ Me

‘— To do whatever they can to hurt reputations, to do whatever they can to assassinate these people that are out there that are doing good things for their constituents’

EXCERPT:

KILMEADE: "The nonprofit group Alliance for a Better Utah filed a complaint against Utah Congresswoman Mia Love accusing her of campaign violations claiming she illegally accepted over $1 million in campaign contributions. Love denies any wrongdoing. Here with her side of the story Utah Congressman Mia Love. Not only do you deny this, you are alarmed by. This why?"
LOVE: "Well, the FEC just asked a question and it was a routine question. They actually said it was a routine question about how our electoral process works. And, you know, you've got the DCCC that decided they were going to take it, bring it to one of their media friends and then they ran with it, without any — anyone at the FEC saying anything was illegal. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t even being investigated at the time. And of course you have got a left-leaning group — not left leaning, a leftist group that completely works for my opponent that decided that they were going to file a complaint. And so, you know, I just wanted to say clearly that there is a coordinated effort out there around campaign time to smear, to do whatever they can to hurt reputations, to do whatever they can to assassinate these people that are out there that are doing good things --"
KILMEADE: "Right."
LOVE: "-- for their constituents. So I just needed to put it out there --"
KILMEADE: "Right."
LOVE: "-- and say, absolutely, nothing that was — nothing that we did was wrong."
