Portsmouth Herald: Hemingway displayed 'level of rudeness and arrogance' reminiscent of Bill O'Brien
The editors of the Portsmouth Herald, who today endorsed Walt Havenstein in the Republican gubernatorial primary, were not impressed with his opponent Andrew Hemingway.
“Hemingway has launched some tech startup businesses but his biggest accomplishment in this state, chairing the Liberty Caucus’ efforts to elect Bill O'Brien as speaker of the House in 2010, is something we view as an extreme negative,” they wrote.
“Hemingway also seems to lack maturity and during an editorial board meeting with the Portsmouth Herald displayed a level of rudeness and arrogance that reminded us of the reign of O'Brien,” they continued. “He does not seem to have yet developed the diplomatic ability to work collaboratively with people whose point of view is different from his own.”
