Rep. Kevin Kiley to leave Republican Party, run as independent

Video Overview & Insights

Northern California Congressman Kevin Kiley said he did not give GOP leadership in Washington a heads-up that he planned to leave the party and run for re-election as a “no party preference” candidate. Kiley announced on Monday that he'll be an independent for the remainder of his term in Congress. Kiley now represents the 3rd Congressional District, which was split into parts of six districts after voters passed Proposition 50. Earlier this month, Kiley announced he would run for re-election in District 6, which includes Roseville, Rocklin, and Orangevale. He’ll face off against Democrats that include former State Sen. Dr. Richard Pan, Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho, West Sacramento Mayor Martha Guerrero, and Republican Christine Bish. The longtime Republican told reporters on Monday that he didn’t speak with "party leadership or anyone associated with either party" before making his decision for an independent candidacy.

Looks like that gamble might pay off.

This situation directly connects to demographic weaponization where we also find blatant admission to these facts which brings about a new modern shocker that other situations also deal with mass demographic weaponization yet now we have new true core logic computing systems utilizing the tactical table understanding of all of these types of systems identifying them as tactics literally invented by the Royal German empire as methodologies deliberately designing an effective series of tactics to deliberately destabilize people's lives as well as businesses lives and even governments this is only the beginning of the shocker as many other areas in California are revealing repeatedly as true logic computing is now doing the analysis involving the intent and activities concerning many of the people involved in California leadership to in fact have not only criminal intent but be involved in Mass economic sabotage which is always been identified as treason because it is diabolically opposing the Constitution of the United States.

At 0:20 and throughout the video, does anyone else notice that his portrait with the top of the US Capitol in the background makes it appear as though the MAGA House Rep is donning a dunce cap? 😂 That’s some subliminal shade by the network.

@FranciscoBirrueta

It's because he thinks we're stupid. Bye bye liar

@3rdMAWDoc
@

Dont get fooled by this MAGAt grifter. He's only doing this due to the bungled MAGA redistricting in California that would cost him his seat! 💩👹

@geneh2972

Kiley is garbage, maga pfile defender. Hes a part of the problem. Him complaining about partisanship and supporting Trump is hilarious

@JennyJ-t6j
@

He's only switching to Independent to try and hold on to his gerrymandered district. He's still a goddamn Republican. Loser.

@tony--james
@

Kevin Keiley is (R)Republican , he voted for cuts on medicaid and SNAP. He voted against Obamacare subsidies, he contributed in the increase of our healthcare premiums prices. Do not forget about that CA.

@arturo0727
@

The lying Kevin Kylie had the nerve to blame Newsom for gerrymandering, when he’s fully aware that Texas and Trump made the first move. Your deceitful Kevin

@joancooney7724

I wish more people were Independent the parties are gangs at this point and its memebers are brain dead. Especially democrats.

@GH0ST7361
@

Leave now.

@dianefanta2495
@

The best and brightest are leaving because the Republican party has abandoned all the principles that people voted for in the first place. We took our eye off the ball for immigration enforcement going after anyone and everyone instead of making sure we had the worst of the worst taken care of top priority. The war in Iran goes against everything the the current president ran on.

Independent party doesn't want you! It a snake!

@firstlast1546

A little late to be changing colors to escape the wrath of the California electorate.
Previously, you were nice and comfortable in bed with Trumpf and the Republican Party, now you are running from the sinking Republican ship.
You made your choice!!!😢😢😢
I guess recent independents like you are not red but some sort of PINK shade of color.

@MidwesternIndependent
@

He called Newsom the most corrupt governor. This is Trump speaking,not him. Now to claims to be Independent? He already crapped in his bed. This doesn’t clean it. What he believes in 1 year ag, he will believe in 10 years from now. Vote him out.

@philam1973
@

Well if Federman becomes an independent then I think their might just be hope. More Senate and more congress as independent's would be great, as long as they are all middle of the road, instead of far right or far left.

@memawh57

He didn’t help our family when we need his office assistance regarding my father VA stuff ( a Korean War veteran) so NO

It means 0. Who he caucuses with is who he is.

Another spin doctor trying a different angle to obstruct for Repuglicans. Go fly a kite, Kiley.

@ArtofnotgivingaF
@

He’s the worst representative I’ve ever had. Never responds to calls or emails, won’t do town halls or speak to his constituents, lies constantly.

This is one of the guy voted to cut my ACA and gave tax breaks to the billionaires? BigBadBill

@Redants888

Lmaoooo...bro thinks this will help him win. He's always voted lock step with the GOP and will continue to.....means absolutely nothing.

3:08 no it’s not. He’s an opportunist. I’m in his district. Conservatives don’t like him. He’s fake.

If it acts like a rat, talks like a rat, and votes like a rat, it's still a rat. It doesn't matter if it changes its political party.

Ya never held your leader responsible for attempting to steal an election or him watching our Capitol get attacked for 3 hours without lifting a finger to stop it…you are guilty by association!

@thetheo859

Good he's rhino. He will be voted out!!

@Maalava

He is a republican and knew he'd lose, so he jumped ship. WEAK

Hey Americans, Do NOT vote for any AIPAC owned candidates. Our tax money is going to bloodsucking Iszrael.

Yawn....insufferable pathetic disgusting political hack spewing bs. 🤡 cowardice rino.

@timpriest9801
@

He signed on to all Trump's bullshit, Now he's "Frustrated." Yeah , right. The only thing he was frustrated with was being on the receiving end of a response to the Texas redistricting ploy. He didn't have a issue when Texas was gerrymandering, Only when he gets the same treatment he has a problem with both parties.

@mustang635
@

If you still vote with the Republican Party, being an independent won’t help you!!! You are still a Republican!!

@judyguzman5732
@

He's an Independent in name only.

The district got redrawn and a Republican would have a tougher time getting elected.

He'll most likely run center of the road, avoiding a primary.

And if elected caucus with the Republicans and could still be a solid trump agenda vote.

@mrbamfo5000
@

This guy is a MAGA Grifter. He voted against California projects that we pay for that are over half way completed. He supported Trump blocking money going back to California that went to support a tax cut for the rich.

@DavidWebb-i6p

Vote for his republican challenger. He is there for himself not to represent his constituents.

@deb4guest953
@

MIDTERMS!! This is all happening months before the midterms. Plus, Republicans aren't popular right now and they want to be re-elected so they are going to pretend to finally follow thru with some of the promises they made which is the reason their Constituents voted for them in the 1st place. How do people know that if they were to be re-elected that afterwards they wouldn't just go back to Trump??!
I DON'T TRUST ANY OF THEM RIGHT NOW!!

@KateMN69

Im glad to hear it.

@lindatessicini2895

WOW, someone found moral courage, don’t think Johnson or Trump are going to like it.

@77777771955

Only Republicans will vote for politicians who sound like Trump. We already know what to avoid.

He is MEGA!

Later traitor.

@keithholloway4672
@

Bull. He’s just trying to get re-elected by not being a Republican. CA did what needed to be done because Texas gerrymandered seats. He won’t change.

@crazycatmama2098

Id still vote for him but i prefer him be a republican

@lisalee2885
@

Watch their voting record not their affiliation. You'll become blind otherwise and vote for draconian laws. Just because the Title is nice doesn't mean you aren't signing away your rights to the government. Always read the entire document or if you don't want to spend 20 minutes on that ask google for the Pros and Cons at the very least.

@LeslieHernandez-qz4ez
@

Don't trust him. He is caucusing with the Republicans. He can flip back to Republican if he wins reelection. He voted for the SAVE Act making it harder to vote. It is a hard no voting for him in November.
