Former West Virginia State Rep. Derrick Evans (R) claimed during an interview that Rep. Carol Miller (R-WV) brought Bill Gates to West Virginia to promote his “globalist agenda.” Evans, who is running against Miller in the state’s primary, characterized her as an “undocumented Democrat” rather than a Republican In Name Only (RINO). He criticized Miller for her vote on various bills, including the $1.2 trillion government funding plan, FISA reauthorization, aid to Ukraine, and support for the Green New Deal and taxpayer-funded abortion through Obamacare.
Miller, on the other hand, mentioned having a positive meeting with Bill Gates in January 2023. Additionally, she voted in alignment with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) amid attempts by other Representatives to remove him from his leadership position in the House.
An ad launched by Miller’s campaign falsely claimed that Evans had a “zero” rating with the NRA, despite him actually having an “AQ” rating, the highest possible without a voting record. The controversy surrounding this ad was addressed by NRA board member-elect Dennis Fusaro, who confirmed Evans’ A rating with the NRA. Miller also accused Evans of being pro-transgender, despite her own votes in support of funding transgender surgery for minors.
Evans further criticized Miller’s voting record during the interview, highlighting her alignment with the established political system.
