GOP lawmaker hits Tea Party 'wing nut element,' calls Marilinda Garcia 'Michele Bachmann's twin'
State House Rep. Bob Elliott doesn’t think much of Second District congressional candidate Marilinda Garcia – or her supporters.
The Salem Republican, who has endorsed former state Sen. Gary Lambert, shared his thoughts after this week’s WMUR Granite State Poll came out. “Poll also shows Kuster beating Garcia by 14 points… Kuster is ahead of Lambert by only nine. He’s gaining points, Garcia is losing points,” Elliott wrote on Facebook.
“And Kuster hasn’t even started on Garcia’s extremism yet with Libertarians, and Free Staters as her supporters, not to mention the ‘wing nut’ element of the Tea Party,” he continued. “It’s deja vu all over again (as Yogi Berra would say), with Michelle Bachman’s twin. Go Gary, Go!!!”
