MEDIA ADVISORY, May 7 /Standard Newswire/ -- The Massachusetts Republican Assembly, a chartered Republican Party organization today issued the following statement:
"Charlie Baker is a pro-choice, gun grabbing, pro gay liberal. His running mate Richard Tisei has been a thorn in the side of conservatives across this state for years. Baker went out of this way to poke conservatives in the eye when he picked Tisei. Richard Tisei is the sponsor of the trans-gender bathroom bill, has a 100 percent NARAL rating and was the only Republican to vote against the Income Tax Rollback.
"It is absolutely outrageous that the RGA would use conservative dollars to back someone like Baker. Barbour should take his money back to Mississippi because he doesn't know a thing about Massachusetts. If he did, he wouldn't be spending conservative donors' money on liberals like Charlie Baker.
"Last week, Baker speaking in the first person, was barely able to conceal his contempt for social conservatives when he said, 'He's pro-choice, he's pro gay rights and gay marriage, he selected an openly gay man to be his running mate in the Republican Party, in the Republican Primary--I think it's pretty hard to argue that I'm suddenly turning into a social conservative.'"
