In web video, DGA links Rick Scott to ills of Tea Pary

in Uncategorized by

The Democratic Governors Association is releasing a new Web video today arguing that a slew of GOP governors, including Rick Scott, are “are vulnerable to defeats across the country because of their close ties to a politically toxic Tea Party brand” in the wake of the government shutdown.

“Republican governors are desperately trying to separate themselves from the toxic brand that is today’s Republican Party,” said DGA Communications Director Danny Kanner. “But the truth is that they helped elect the Tea Party Republicans in Congress who have shut down the government, share their radical ideology, and are inextricably linked to their attacks on women, gay Americans, immigrants, and middle-class families.”

In addition to Scott, Govs. Haley, Kasich, LePage, and Walker, plus candidate Cuccinelli, are featured.
