RNC Letter to DOJ “Disgraceful, Desperate, and Politically Motivated”

By DNC Press

Communications Director Brad Woodhouse released the following statement in response to the special interest-funded Republican Party’s letter today to the Department of Justice about the President’s political activity:

“This is a disgraceful, desperate and politically-motivated attempt at getting headlines by a Republican Party awash in special interest cash which is fighting to preserve tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires at the expense of seniors. This is also an effort to distract from the fact that the President has run the most open and transparent White House and campaign ever while the GOP and its candidates could not survive without being in the pockets of big oil, insurance companies and other special interests.

Instead of playing political games, the Republican Party and its presidential candidates should come clean and tell the American people who exactly among their special interest backers they are working for to end Medicare, slash student loans and place more burdens on the middle class in exchange for preserving tax breaks for corporate lobbyists, corporate jet owners and hedge fund managers.”
