A Mercenary Challenges Incumbent Republican Senator John Barrasso For His Party’s Nomination
According to The Daily Caller:
Thomas Bleming fought as a mercenary for decades against authoritarian governments, from the jungles of Myanmar and Panama to the shrubland of Zimbabwe. He has now set his sights on a target closer to home: a U.S. Senate seat. And not everyone is happy about it.
Bleming lives on a ranch in an eastern Wyoming town of 900, and he’s challenging incumbent Republican Sen. John Barrasso for his party’s nomination. He considers Barrasso a “corporate puppet” who has abetted the demise of constitutional freedoms.
Bleming’s campaign is about “complete freedom,” he told The Daily Caller. His campaign platform is a blend of libertarian and anti-corporate positions.
Since indicating his intention to challenge Barrasso this summer, he says that he has received death threats.
“I was involved in a dozen revolutions and a dozen wars overseas. I had a lot of unofficial sponsorship, you may say,” he noted. “There are things that go on in the world every day that they really don’t want people knowing about.”
