Alaska's decoy Senate candidate accused of illegally colluding with the liberal group that invented him
“They didn't run a candidate, they ran a typo with a filing fee, and now the watchdog says the typo was on the payroll the whole time. That's not a decoy, that's a plant, and the only people who didn't know it was a plant were the voters it was aimed at. Somebody spent real money to confuse you on purpose — that's the whole budget item, right there.”
“The watchdog complaint is one filing, not a verdict, and Alaskans deserve to hear both sides before anyone uses the word "collusion" — did I say collusion? That's not a word we use anymore, forget I said that. What matters is Senator Sullivan's record, which is why the campaign built an entire website just to set the record straight against a man who isn't even really running against him.”
