The campaign manager for the U.S. Senate bid of Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) has been removed from his position after a major Breitbart News exclusive revealed he is raging with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).<\/p>\n
Blake Gober, Barr\u2019s campaign manager since January, was terminated after the explosive Breitbart News report.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe parted ways with Blake last week,\u201d Barr campaign spokesman Alex Bellizzi said in a statement to the Lexington Herald-Leader<\/a><\/em> newspaper.<\/p>\n Barr\u2019s closeness with former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the outgoing senator whose seat Barr and the other candidates are running to replace, has been a central focus of the election. Barr, whose support for open borders and amnesty has also been a focus of the campaign, has called McConnell his \u201cmentor\u201d even though Barr is an adult man. Former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron has also been particularly close with McConnell, while businessman Nate Morris has decidedly run against the McConnell machine in Kentucky.<\/p>\n The author of the story in the newspaper, Austin Horn, wrote that Gober was fired after the Breitbart News story.<\/p>\n \u201cCriticism of Gober from many on the right came after\u00a0a report from Breitbart, a conservative outlet that has boosted Morris, about several posts on X, formerly Twitter, criticizing Trump,\u201d Horn wrote.<\/p>\n
