Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, and Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., didn't respond to requests for comment. The re-election campaign of Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., another Parnell backer, responded that it had no comment"in regards to the Parnell personal attacks.

A Parnell ally said most donors and other political supporters are waiting on a ruling in the custody case before they make any moves.
