Washington, DC – Correct the Record released the following statement on tonight’s GOP debate:
“Tonight’s Republican debate was a veritable fireworks display of rhetorical flare-ups and explosive bigotry. From the opening question, each candidate lashed out against Muslims, pandered to special interests, and insulted American values,” said Brad Woodhouse, President of Correct the Record. “There’s no better proof that Hillary Clinton is the most qualified candidate than watching these nine try to outdo each other.”
“You could sense the desperation from contenders not named Trump, and it was ugly. Cruz, Rubio, Carson, and everyone else on that stage scrambled to reach the 99th percentile of far-right extremism. And with today’s GOP, extremism translates to poll numbers. Whether targeting Muslims or blaming refugees, the Republican candidates fibbed and fear mongered to distract from their lack of solutions. No one—not a single candidate—had a nuanced anti-terror plan anything like the one Hillary Clinton offered this afternoon. They’re all in over their heads.”
Correct The Record is a strategic research and rapid response team designed to defend Hillary Clinton from baseless attacks.
