Staff File Photo / Weston Wamp’s frank words about the 2020 election could lure Democratic votes to the May Republican primary for county mayor.For a man who wants to be Hamilton County mayor, Weston Wamp spends a lot of time talking about national issues.
That may be the thought of at least some local voters after the entrepreneur was again in the news talking about Washington, D.C., politics.
Wamp was featured recently in an article in The New Yorker, which was titled “The Pro-Trump Case For Rejecting The Big Lie: Weston Wamp, a young conservative from Tennessee, is on a mission to convince others on the right that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.”
The article pulled quotes from his video series, “Truthtellers,” which is circulated on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook and sponsored by the political reform group Issue One, for which he is listed as senior political strategist and for which he said he is a “contractor.”
In it, Wamp said, “I’ve tried to approach it with the sobriety of being a conservative Republican who lives every day with the reality that a lot of my friends and fellow-Republicans still question the results of the 2020 election. I just happen to have a real interest in the truth.”
