Republicans are criticizing Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Katie McGinty for what they see as her silence on issues facing the state, country and world.
“If Ms. McGinty wants to run for U.S. Senate, she needs to let voters know where she stands on critical issues,” said Pennsylvania GOP communications director Megan Sweeney. “Joe Sestak is 100 percent behind President Obama’s disastrous deal with Iran. Ms. McGinty says she doesn’t know where she stands. That’s not going to cut it. Is Katie McGinty for or against the Iran deal? Pennsylvanians deserve to know.”
Sweeney also asked for McGinty to weigh in on the Environmental Protection Agency’s attempt to regulate the coal industry and whether she supports reforms to Obamacare.
Meanwhile, National Republican Senatorial Committee spokeswoman Andrea Bozek is outlining similar criticisms on McGinty’s take on the Iran deal.
“If Katie McGinty wants to be taken seriously as a candidate, she owes Pennsylvanians an answer on this critical issue of national security,” Bozek said. “Does McGinty have the courage to join other Democrats in standing up to the White House to oppose this dangerous deal? It’s time for McGinty to stop dodging and give voters the answer they deserve.”
