When in doubt - go to the tapes
Oct 19, 2018Eagan, MN – Jason Lewis for Congress Campaign Manager Becky Alery released the following statement:
“Surprise, two weeks before the election and more talk show tapes appear. Boy, didn’t see that one coming.
“It’s obvious that Democrats have become increasingly alarmed that radical candidate Angie Craig is once again failing in the race for MN-02, so we’re returning to the land of smears by pointing to years-old comments from talk radio that have been litigated over, and over, (and over!) again. In fact, $8 million dollars was spent on old talk radio comments in 2016, but here we go again with bottom feeders who will do anything to help the left-wing cause.
“Let’s see, in 2016, they accused Lewis of promoting slavery and heroin. So now, after doing their dirty work on Judge Brett Kavanaugh, they’re weaponizing the sexual harassment issue for electoral gain. Lewis, of course, was mocking false claims of harassment and precisely the environment that tried to destroy Clarence Thomas and Judge Kavanaugh.
“At some point, you have to ask yourself, is there nothing these people will do for power? This latest deliberate hit job is transparent. How else could anyone explain why it was posted just two weeks before an election when it was in the possession of the blogger for months.
“Meantime, our campaign is focused on weak candidate Craig who has refused to take any principled stance on the issue as she campaigned with resigned State Senator Dan Schoen, Garrison Keillor, Al Franken, and Keith Ellison. Lewis’ critics can go after his right to free speech, but actions (or lack thereof from Craig) speak louder than words.”
