Massachusetts Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez is in
full freakout mode.
BOSTON, MA. – Gabriel Gomez, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in the Massachusetts open seat special election, today issued the following statement on Congressman Ed Markey’s latest attacks:
“First, Congressman Markey slandered me by comparing me to Osama bin Laden. Now in his most recent TV ad, Markey blames me for the horrific Newtown shooting,” Gomez said.
“I guess after 37 years in Congress you lose your sense of decency. Exploiting a tragedy for political gain is sick.”
Wow, that would be a really low blow, saying that Gabriel Gomez was responsible for Newtown. If that's what Ed Markey's ad really says. Which, of course, it doesn't.
Narrator: "Gomez is against banning assault weapons."
Gomez: "I don't believe we need to do an assault weapon ban."
Narrator: "Gomez is against banning high-capacity magazines, like the ones used in the Newtown school shooting."
Gomez: "I don't believe you should have a limit on the high-capacity magazines."
Pathetic, Mr. Gomez. Just pathetic. You're on the wrong side of this debate for your state, and you know it. It might have worked to win a Republican primary, but now that you're in the general election, you're trying to run away from your opposition to common sense gun regulations. And it's not going to work.
Here's your first lesson in how running for election works. You say something on camera, it's there forever. False outrage won't make it go away.
