Country star offers to perform at Tillis primary opponent’s rally
Country music performer John Rich has been a passionate, outspoken supporter of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. (Country fans may also remember him as the former co-lead singer of the band Lonestar and as one-half of the duo Big & Rich.)
It appears that Rich has seen all he needs to see of senator Thom Tillis, and has made an offer to folks here in North Carolina:
In September 2024, Rich played a concert in Chapel Hill to thank a UNC fraternity for protecting an on-campus American flag from filthy dirtbag pro-Hamas protesters.
You heard the man, folks. That’s big-time entertainment for an event promoting a big-time primary challenger to Scraggly Thom.
For what it’s worth, I’m hearing that Tillis is backing out of a 2026 run. I hear he has someone waving big bucks at him, and all of this is just him flipping us all off on the way out the door.
Don Brown has primaried him. Andy Nilsson also, but sadly he isn’t a reliable conservative from what I understand.
This is Brown’s campaign site: https://brownfornc.com/
If no one else formidable files, I’ll support Brown for Senate.
Tillis needs to take his censured butt home, but I hate to hear he may get any $$$ as a reward for leaving. He should leave unrewarded with his tail properly between his legs.

Jason Goodman is doing so.me digging on shady deals by Thom and his wife. I expect charity fraud will be revealed
I hope I am wrong, but I don’t think Thillis has it in him to step away from “power,” and the dollars he shoves in his pockets betraying us in D. C.
Tillis is censored by the NCGOP, but with Jason Simmons allow him to have a presence at the NCGOP convention? If Simmons does so, that should be an issue used against Simmons.
Tillis is a traitor and has exhibited gross party disloyalty on the Ed Martin situation. Tillis should be declared persona non grata at all GOP events. The Oklahoma GOP publicly “withdrew its support” from RINO US Senator James Lankford in 2024 after Lankford co-sponsored the Biden Border Bill. The NCGOP should formally do the same to Tillis. The Alaska GOP formally endorsed a conservative primary challenger to RINO US Senator Lisa Murkowski in 2024. The NCGOP should do the same against Tillis.
Tillis has betrayed the party and the Republican voters of North Carolina. The GOP needs to kick him to the curb.
Thom Tillis will not be at the NCGOP convention. I can’t remember the last one he even attended. He hasn’t even bought an ad in the program in years, He has ZERO regard for the base of this party and people need to wake up to that. He came to the RNC in Milwaukee and did not attend 1 NCGOP event. Our daily breakfasts had incredible speakers — Lara Trump, Mike Johnson, JD Vance, BUT our own senior Senator was MIA! He sat in the Senatorial box at the convention center and NEVER came to the floor with the NC delegation. Why? Because he knew he would get booed? Because he has no respect for the people that actually do the work of the party?
I am so proud to have written the censure language used on the floor in 2023 to censure him, I am so proud of my then Henderson County Chair for making the motion. So proud of my friend Michael Magnanti for working to get rule 5b set aside with that vote to have the censure heard.
Whatley, et al tried to work the convention rules and resolutions to keep it from even being heard, BUT we made it happen! They tried to silence the 53 counties that had censured him.
It cost me a lot personally, but I sleep like a baby!
Whatley would put up Tillis videos during conventions. After the censure of Tillis would his fanboy Michael Whatley instruct Jason Simmons to do that at this convention. Tillis is afraid of the grassroots which is why he only appears by video.
I was the first to announce, have the most volunteers, and am absolutely, reliably Conservative. Always been pro-life, pro-gun, pro-family. I didn’t always love Trump. Neither did JD Vance, Elon Musk, or a majority of 2016 North Carolina primary voters who picked Ted Cruz. But I began to realize Trump was right when the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago in 2022. Donald Trump is the leader of the GOP and our country and I will be a solid vote in the Senate for his America First vision. I am not a lawyer, I have completed every campaign I’ve run, and I have the strength and stamina to win this. http://www.andynilsson.com
Weird how you stated in writing, “ I never supported Trump in the primaries. In 2016, I supported Chris Christie and again in 2023 until I switched to Nikki Haley because Christie became too negative. When I announced for the RNC, I dropped affiliation with all Primary campaigns and pledged my loyalty to the entire Republican ticket, whoever that may be. I have not wavered from that.” ~Andy Nilsson, 3/12/24
There are rumblings that Lara Trump may get into this primary, and a poll has been done on that already. She would demolish Tillis in a landslide.
Tillis’ treachery on the Ed Martin nomination is something I have not seen the current crop of candidates using. If they can’t jump on that, why not?
Nobody in the race yet to defeat Tillis in primary. Heard McHenry may run, nothing more than a vote splitter to allow Tillis space.
IF coop jumps in and that’s the worst kept secret in the world, the candidate best not be Tillis. Again, nobody in the race that can defeat Tillis in a primary battle. Coop gonna swamp Tillis and he will eviscerate the gentleman above.
