BOSTON -- Lt. Gov. Tim Murray today released the following statement on Charlie Baker's tacit collusion with the Republican Governors Association and its Chair Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, who has been blanketing Massachusetts with millions of dollars of negative ads to help elect Baker.
While Haley Barbour was bragging about launching a new round of ads to attack Patrick, Baker was at the same time planning a fundraiser with Barbour, according to the Associated Press, and working with another Republican Governor to fund more TV ads. (Sources below)
"First Charlie Baker feigns concern about negative ads, and then he sits idly by as the Chair of the RGA, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour waltzes into Massachusetts and brags about his new TV ads attacking Gov. Patrick. Now we learn that Charlie Baker and the Republican Governors have been working behind the scenes all along to raise money for more TV ads.
"Charlie Baker is becoming a modern day Eddie Haskell. In public, he pretends to be squeaky clean, but in private, he's working behind the scenes with the Chair of the RGA, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, who is a disciple of the Lee Atwater-Newt Gingrich school of negative politics."
