Minnick: Labrador ‘Out Of Mainstream’
Walt Minnick was listing off reasons why he contends rival Raul Labrador
is “so far out of the mainstream,” from his positions on withdrawing
from the United Nations to his support for repealing popular election of
U.S. senators, and concluded, “He would deny his own daughter … the
right to terminate a pregnancy if it were caused by rape or incest.”
Labrador hit back, “I’m so far out of the mainstream that I was
re-elected with 70 percent of the vote in my legislative district. I’m
so far out of the mainstream that even the Idaho Statesman says that
this is a dead heat, even though he’s spending $2 million to assassinate
my character and I’m only spending $500,000. … The people of Idaho like
my views/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. (AP/Statesman Oct. 14 File Photo: Katherine Jones)
