Jim Justice joins 'Fox News Tonight' after launching U.S. Senate bid for Sen. Joe Manchin's seat, rips GOP primary opponent.
"Mooney is a terrapin," Justice said on Fox News, referencing the reptilian mascot of UMD."From Mooney's standpoint, calling me a RINO, for God's sakes of living, Mooney is from Maryland."Speaking with West Virginia Metro News earlier this week, Mooney said he is the"proven conservative" and that if voters"want someone who's more of a liberal Republican, there's Jim Justice.
Justice said he has not taken a government salary and drives instead of being chauffeured, characterizing himself as someone who"never wanted anything for serving" the public.
