Republican Party of Minnesota Chair, Tony Sutton commented in response to a reporter: "I think the intent was not malicious, but certainly it was inappropriate". Why didn't reporters call Michele Bachmann for comment? She represents this Senate District in congress.
The Minnesota Independent interviewed the SD 56 webmaster about the video.
Michele Bachmann wannabe, Kathy Lohmer condemned the video in an email to Minnesota Independent:
“I just heard about this within the last 1/2 hour — and immediately called for the resignation of our web site manager for the BPOU [Basic Party Operating Unit],” she wrote in an email. Lohmer, who is running against DFL Rep. Julie Bunn and independent Jim Martin in 56A, acknowledges she hasn’t — and likely won’t — watch the video. But she says she took swift action.
“I also asked my website manager to take the SD56 webpage link OFF of my site,” she continued. “I don’t want to be connected in any way to that type of behavior. I detest the dirty campaigning, the sign stealing, etc. All of these tactics do nothing to show the clear differences between my opponent and myself. My campaign is about integrity, common sense, fiscal responsibility, personal responsibility, respect for life and respect for the Constitution.”
The Republican Party of Minnesota still links to the Senate District 56 website. Why don't they pull their link to show they truly don't support this video?
