On today’s LeftAhead podcast, Mike and I had Mathew Helman on from ProgressMass to talk about Scott Brown and the ‘Both Ways‘ of his record — how Brown says one thing and does another.
I was very impressed with Mat’s wide depth of knowledge and research of Scott Brown’s record. He clearly knows it about as well as anyone else around, able to bring clear examples of how what Scott Brown says doesn’t match up with what he does behind the scenes, right down to individual stories printed months ago.
For example, Brown says he’s pro-choice, but his record is decidedly against choice. He tries to say he’s a fearless independent, when his few ‘bipartisan’ votes lack any kind of leadership and often come attached with Trojan-Horse provisions.
Consider this podcast great primer material for how to talk to people who may like Scott Brown, but don’t understand how he’s undermined the people of Massachusetts at nearly every turn.
