Brown Turns Yellow

September 18, 2012 By Jack Mitchell

This is not a principled stand by Sen. BrownYellow. His voting record betrays him. This is straight out panic in the face of plunging support. This is self-serving and cowardly.

Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) came out in opposition to Mitt Romney’s controversial remarks on the “47 percent.”

Brown, who has been distancing himself from elements of the Republican Party, joins GOP Senate candidate in Connecticut Linda McMahon in coming out against the statements.

“That’s not the way I view the world. As someone who grew up in tough circumstances, I know that being on public assistance is not a spot that anyone wants to be in. Too many people today who want to work are being forced into public assistance for lack of jobs,” he said in an email to The Hill.

Lest anyone forget, without Mitt Romney, there is no Senator Scott Brown.

From the start, Romney backed Brown to be the successor to the late Edward M. Kennedy, the legendary Democrat who held the Senate seat for nearly half a century. Romney helped the Brown campaign raise money, including more than $1 million in a single day by e-mailing his own supporters nationwide.

And many of the same faces that accompanied Romney on the presidential campaign trail jumped on board the Brown bandwagon, including Romney’s campaign manager, Beth Myers, and spokesman, Eric Fehrnstrom, as well as others from Romney’s days as Massachusetts governor.

“Mitt Romney’s early support was crucial. He was there with fundraising help and advice when no one else was willing to give Scott Brown a second look,” Fehrnstrom told the Deseret News.

Romney’s “Free and Strong America” political action committee donated $9,000, Fehrnstrom said. Romney also hosted two fundraisers in October, mailed his national donor list on Brown’s behalf and “loaned his entire political team to the short-duration campaign.”

It apparently made the difference. Fehrnstrom said, “On Dec. 29, Mitt sent a fundraising e-mail whose subject line was, ‘Something’s brewing in Massachusetts.’ He was right!”

I don’t believe in “loyalty too a fault.” But, you gotta wonder, if and when Scott Brown losses; will Romney be around in the near future to help pick Brown up? I’ve been hearing rumors of Brown moving at the governorship in 2016, if and when Scott Brown losses this bid. What? Is Mitt gonna forget this treachery? Don’t elephants have long memories?

PS. Scott Brown owes the Tea Party pretty big, too. From Brown’s Jan. 2010 victory party:

Does reputation matter? Paul’s a known #mapoli sock puppet for people who don’t believe in climate change, He doesn’t support government regulating the environment. Ever. He wrote “green” in in the lede here. He attacked climate goals in the last sentence! https://commonwealthmagazine.org/opinion/is-mining-lithium-in-maine-a-cost-of-going-electric/

Oh! My Bad, it's @MayorWu's office who signs off on the hush money to make beatdowns go away. Money well spent to keep folks like @AttorneyCrump away. He doesn’t care about RACIST @TheDemocrats anyways — only @GOP.🙄🤦🏾‍♂️ #BOSpoli #MApoli

I suspect @bostonpolice will be on "high alert" tomorrow. A cop dies of indigestion in Alaska, and BPD goes on “high Alert. Yet, they don’t go on “high alert” when they kill Black people in Boston or payout millions in hush money to make a beatdown go away.🙄🤦🏾‍♂️ #BOSpoli #MApoli https://twitter.com/BostonGlobe/status/1622817060798746624

I'm not going to do your jobs for you'll, but I do know the details. It’s what happens when you actually talk to Black and brown people who lives in Boston. Btw, no one hates electeds more that their family members. And guess who they all call in the mornings!🙄🤦🏾‍♂️#BOSpoli #MApoli https://twitter.com/NotoriousVOG/status/1622816449051103232
