Barry Loudermilk Claims Allen West's Mantle, Goes After Obama

Earlier this week former U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., passed on leadership of his Guardian Fund PAC to U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga. On Friday, Loudermilk outlined his agenda for the PAC in the 2016 election cycle.

Under the exceptional leadership of Allen West, the Guardian Fund led a grassroots conservative movement that led the way in taking the Senate back from liberal control and expanding our conservative majority in the House, Lourdermilk emailed supporters on Friday. Colonel West always leads by example, valuing decisive action over cheap talk. And I'm honored that he's asked me to follow him as chairman of the Guardian Fund. It's my intention to carry the torch forward as he would -- with direct action against the liberals who are trying to destroy America by sending strong constitutional conservatives to serve in Washington.

Allen West played a major role in helping me get to Congress, Loudermilk continued. I am an Air Force veteran who served in intelligence during the Cold War, and when I made the decision to run for Congress, it was because I wanted to preserve liberty for my children and grandchildren. The Guardian Fund shares that desire and stood by me through victory in November. Now it's my turn to lead and I'm ready to go to the ends of the earth to fight for veterans, constitutional conservatives, and minority candidates, all of which we need more of in Washington.

Calling President Barack Obama dangerous, Loudermilk tore into the presidents record on terrorism and immigration.

Barack Obama, with his failed leftist ideology, is putting America at risk, Loudermilk insisted. Just like Allen West, I swore an oath to defend this country and its Constitution that I intend to uphold. The fight is on.
