When asked what change he brought, Moulton mentioned how he had learned in Iraq to work with all kinds of people.
Speaking very quickly, Wu said something like this:
Richard Tisei has been a Republican in the Massachusetts state legislature for 30 years. He's probably voted with Democrats at least 50% of the time, more than you have.
(emphasis mine)
Huh? First, how do you make a statement like that without knowing his actual voting record?
Second, since when is simply voting "working across the aisle?"
Working across the aisle is about cooperating and compromising to craft a bill and get it passed, not chiming in with your Republican vote after a legislature that is over 90% Democratic wrote the bill and brought it to a vote. IF he did even that. No way to know since she clearly pulled 50% out of nowhere, to try to make Tisei look better than Moulton.
What a dishonest comment!
Can't say it's the first time she's tried to help Republicans or been harsh with Democrats, either.
As for Moulton, I did not get any better sense of him than I had before. The most enthused he got was when he mentioned the winner of the AG race. That could be because she is openly gay, in which case, I give him props. Or, it could be because unions did not back her, in which case I give him minus 50 points.
Couldn't tell either way.
