DSCC Communications Director Sadie Weiner issued the following response to Mark Kirk’s latest position on his party’s standard bearer and presumptive nominee, Donald Trump:
“Mark Kirk and his GOP Senate colleagues stood by while Donald Trump insulted his way to the nomination and took over the Republican party. Though he belittled women, immigrants, minorities and people with disabilities, it was not until the political fallout of Trump’s divisive politics began to hurt Kirk’s own reelection that he second-guessed his support. In fact, too often Kirk’s own offensive rhetoric made him almost indistinguishable from Trump. Regardless of whether or not Kirk actually sticks to this latest position on Trump, voters won’t buy his politically-motivated self-serving stance. It’s Trump’s Party and Kirk helped build it.”
