CT Working Families Party Launches Anti-McMahon Letter-Writing Campaign

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon took steps earlier this week to distance herself from Mitt Romney’s 47 percent but the Connecticut Working Families Party calls her move a “flip-flop.”

The liberal group, which has endorsed McMahon’s Democratic opponent Chris Murphy, points to McMahon’s own remarks to News Channel 8 on the day she announced her 2012 bid for Senate: “ ”Forty-seven percent of the people today don’t pay any taxes. So lets have a fair tax code where everybody pays their taxes.”

The Working Families party calls McMahon’s comments “callous and out of touch.” On its website, it is urging members to write to McMahon to tell her “what you think of her idea of ‘tax fairness.”’
