Dem Senator Carper is now just trying to run out the clock and pray September 6th hurries up and gets here.
Each day looks worse for Carper and local and national news outlets continue to examine his execrable record. Today it is the fact that Carper talks big about fighting the opioid epidemic, but the fact is that has received major campaign donations from the very companies his state is suing over their role in the crisis.
The Harris campaign was quick to make an issue of it:
“I call on Carper to immediately return campaign contributions from opioid companies and to divest of those investments,” says Harris. “Other lawmakers, including Carper’s colleague Claire McCaskill, have done the same.”
Meanwhile, seven hours into the controversy, the Carper campaign is flummoxed and stonewalling the challenger’s call for some semblance of alignment between what Carper says and what he does.
