Toomey spent most of his time filibustering tough questions, attacking his opponent and tip-toeing around the orange elephant in the room, Donald Trump.
PDP SPOX: “He’s spent 20 years in Washington, but today Toomey didn’t even try to defend his record — to the extent that’s even possible. Instead he spun lies about Katie McGinty, President Obama and Hillary Clinton, while shrugging his shoulders at Donald Trump’s sexist, racist campaign.”
If you made it through Pat Toomey’s remarks at the Pennsylvania Press Club today without nodding off, we tip our hat. Professor Toomey spent most of his time filibustering tough questions, attacking his opponent and tip-toeing around the orange elephant in the room, Donald Trump. Moments after highlighting the importance of standing up to one’s political party, Toomey pivoted right back to his stance of “hoping to get to the point where [he] can support Donald Trump.”
“Absent from anything Pat Toomey said today was a single honest reason Pennsylvanians should reelect him to another term in the Senate,” said Preston Maddock, Pennsylvania Democratic Party spokesman. “He’s spent 20 years in Washington, but today Toomey didn’t even try to defend his record — to the extent that’s even possible. Instead he spun lies about Katie McGinty, President Obama and Hillary Clinton, while shrugging his shoulders at Donald Trump’s sexist, racist campaign.”
TOOMEY AT PRESS CLUB:
“I think it’s very important to Pennsylvanians that their Senator be an independent voice – someone who is going to evaluate issues independently, and come to a conclusion of what’s best for Pennsylvania. And sometimes that means disagreeing with your own party.”
THIS MORNING’S ROLL CALL HEADLINE:
TOOMEY AT PRESS CLUB:
“But that’s what it takes to have any success in Washington, in the United States Senate: someone who is willing to work across the aisle, someone who has principles that he or she believes in, and is willing to call out their own party and their own President when need be.”
TOOMEY “WORKING ACROSS THE AISLE”:
TOOMEY AT PRESS CLUB:
“The President’s determination to appease Iran and to reach an agreement on any costs with him that grants Iran hegemony in the Middle East – which is extremely dangerous in and of itself – has resulted in an Iran nuclear deal that does not block Iran’s path to a nuclear weapon, it paves their path to a nuclear weapon.”
TOOMEY TAKES THE IRAN THREAT THIS SERIOUSLY:
TOOMEY AT PRESS CLUB:
“So let’s just be clear: she has consistently been an advocate for higher middle class taxes.”
