In Absolutely Brutal Own, Republican Congressman's Son Donates to His Dad's Democratic Opponent

From ELLE

This just in: Republicans are officially losing the vote of their own children. In a recent Tweet, Bobby Goodlatte informed his followers that he wouldn't be voting for his father, Bob Goodlatte, to keep his congressional seat representing Virginia's 6th District. Instead, he'd be voting for-and giving the maximum campaign donation allowed to ($2,700)-his father's Democratic opponent, Jennifer Lewis.

"I just gave the maximum allowed donation to Jennifer Lewis, a democrat running for my father's congressional seat," Goodlatte wrote on Twitter. "I've also gotten 5 other folks to commit to donate the max. 2018 is the year to flip districts - let's do this!"

The tweet has since garnered tens of thousands of likes and more than 4,000 rewtweets, with Democrats and Republicans alike applauding Goodlatte for not allowing family lines to sway his vote.
