O’Donnell Camp’s Method: Lie, Then Slander
On Monday, August 15, 2011, I issued a press release to set the record straight about an event featuring Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, an event that three time Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell cites in her new book,
Troublemaker as an example of how the Delaware Republican Party was snubbing her all of the way back in 2008, when she was the party’s chosen nominee.
O’Donnell claims that then state party chairman, Tom Ross “…acknowledged every party bigwig, every elected official, and every candidate for every conceivable office, all the way down to the state legislature…” except for her.
The audio proves that Barbour was introduced by Congressman Mike Castle, and that the only dignitary that Castle introduced was Haley Barbour.
Tom Ross did not speak to the crowd at that event.
O’Donnell goes on to claim that Barbour, “made it right” by giving her a special introduction to the crowd, but the audio shows that Barbour only said that O’Donnell “worked with me at the Republican National Committee” and all of the accolades O’Donnell said Barbour gave to her, he actually gave to other officials at the event.
In her book, O’Donnell claims that she found out about the July 13, 2008 fundraiser the day before, (that would be July 12, 2008), purely by accident, from Haley Barbour himself, and that her campaign had to scramble to “find out what fundraiser he’s (Barbour) talking about,” and that they had to do an “end-around to arrange for tickets, but we finally got them…”
A page from Christine O’Donnell’s 2008 FEC report showed that Christine O’Donnell purchased her tickets for Bill Lee’s fundraiser on July 11, 2008, the day
before she claimed that she found out about it accidentally from Haley Barbour.
